PBM to ICON
File Converter

PBM stands for Portable Bitmap, and it is a monochrome image format that is part of the Netpbm package. It stores image data as a series of ASCII or binary values representing each pixel in the image, with 1s representing black pixels and 0s representing white pixels. PBM files are simple and easy to read but can be quite large since they do not use any compression.

ICON is a file format used to store icons on Microsoft Windows. It supports images of various sizes and color depths, and it can contain multiple images within a single file, allowing icons to be displayed in different resolutions and color depths depending on the user’s settings. While ICON files are essential for creating application and file icons in Windows, they are less commonly used for other purposes due to their specific functionality and limited support on non-Windows platforms.
