Why convert PSD to PPM?
PSD is Adobe Photoshop's native format, storing a flattened composite plus editable layers, masks, and effects. PPM is a minimal, uncompressed Netpbm format that stores raw RGB values behind a tiny text header, easy for programs to read and write.
PPM does not support transparency, so any transparent areas in your PSD are flattened onto a solid white background. PPM is lossless, so quality is preserved perfectly; expect the file to be larger than a compressed PSD.
Pixohub converts PSD to PPM entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API and an in-browser PSD decoder, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many PSD files into PPM as you like. Reach for PPM whenever you need programming, image-processing pipelines, and academic use.
PSD vs PPM: what to expect
PSD is best for layered editing in Photoshop and design hand-off, while PPM shines for programming, image-processing pipelines, and academic use. Keep your original PSD if you may later need its transparency, and export a PPM copy for compatibility and editing.
