What is a CGM file?

CGM or Computer Graphics Metafile is a vector graphic file commonly used for CAD drawings. This file format is encoded with one of three different methods. The first one is the so-called binary encoding. It enables software programs to read all files quickly and efficiently. The second one is a character-based encoding that produces the smallest possible file size and saves storage space while allowing faster data transfers. The third one is a clear-text encoding that lets users read and modify the file’s content. CGM files are compatible with TurboCAD, ACD System Canvas, CorelDRAW, Corel PaintShop, Autodesk AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator, AppleWorks, PTC Creo View Express, etc.

What is a PPM file?

PPM or Portable Pixel Map format was developed in the 1980s to support transferring images between different computer platforms. Although PPM is a color image format, it consists of very little information about image besides color and data that is not visible to the naked eye. PPM file itself can contain one or more PPM images. Considering features of PPM format, it is clear that it’s a highly redundant and inefficient format. Even though PPM format is rare to find nowadays, you can open it with image editing apps such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paintshop Pro, GIMP, IrfanView, etc.
