About PCT and PPM Formats

PCT (Portable Color Text) is a relatively uncommon image format often associated with older graphics applications. PPM (Portable Pixmap) is a widely supported, simple image format often used as an intermediate format for image processing. Converting from PCT to PPM allows you to utilize a more versatile format for editing, viewing, and integration with various software and platforms.
