"Security was our top concern when evaluating file conversion tools. reaConverter’s offline mode and role-based access controls let us lock it down for sensitive environments. No unexpected network calls or bloat — just clean, fast conversions. Even passed our pen-testing scans without a hitch."

BAY to PPM Conversion: FAQ

What are BAY files?

The BAY format is used for storing RAW images taken with some Kodak high speed cameras, such as the Kodak HRC-1000. A BAY file is also referred to as a Kodak / Roper Bayer Sequence and offers photographers, like all other RAW formats, the ability to apply a series of image editing features in digital post-processing. The drawback of such files is their size; though highly adaptable, they tend to have enormous sizes.

What are PPM files?

PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format).
