PBM to MIF Conversion: FAQ
What are PBM files?
The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file format is part of the Netpbm pack, together with two other formats: PPM (Portable Pixelmap) and PGM (Portable Graymap). The three formats are sometimes referred to under the collective name PNM (Portable Anymap) and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion processes supported by Portable Bitmap Utilities — a collection of open source software. The PBM format is associated with monochrome bitmaps, while PGM contains gray-scale bitmaps and PPM color bitmaps.
What are MIF files?
The MIF extension can be associated with vector images under the MapInfo Interchange Format, in which case it consists of a map and a database exporting file. Also MIF or MIFF file format represents a raster image associated with ImageMagick. This open source program is specialized in editing images, and it is mostly popular among developers as it doesn't have an advanced graphical user interface, so it can mainly be used under command-line. reaConverter supports both types of MIF formats and can convert to vector MIF if the source file is also a vector, and to raster if the source file is a raster image.
