PNM does not support alpha transparency. Transparent GIF areas must be flattened onto a background color.
Animated, sequence, or multipage inputs need explicit frame/page handling.
Converting GIF to PNM decodes the source image and writes a PNM output. Use this route when PNM is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
Quality behavior depends on PNM compression: uncompressed.
Choose conversion targets based on PNM compression, transparency, animation, metadata, and compatibility requirements.
Known metadata support: comments, application extensions.
Supported by ImageMagick, Netpbm, and technical imaging tools.
