PNM is a document format: it stores data in the PNM format. AVIF is a image format that applies AV1 intra-frame compression delivering 50% smaller files than JPEG at equivalent quality, with wide colour gamut support. This renders each page as a raster image, making the content viewable without a document reader. Each page is rendered at the specified DPI and saved as a separate image; text in the output is no longer selectable. Converting between these two formats is common when the source application does not support AVIF natively or when the target platform only accepts AVIF. 1converter processes this conversion server-side using open-source tools. Files are transferred over HTTPS, converted on secure cloud servers, and automatically deleted after 24 hours.
