What image format is as simple as ppm format

I want to implement a renderer and save its result as a ppm image because the ppm format is very simple to generate.

But Windows can't open the ppm image directly. Is there some other simple image format that can be opened in Windows directly.

Solution

  • I find the BMP image format which is very easy to parse and can satisfy my need.

    And its wiki URL is below:
