PNM Raw at a glance

PNM Raw

Convert to PNM raw when you need a no-frills lossless raster format for scripts, benchmarking, image-processing experiments, or toolchains that prefer direct pixel access with minimal container complexity.

It is especially useful as an intermediate representation between automated processing steps.

MKA at a glance

MKA

Convert to MKA when you need audio packaged with chapters, multiple streams, or less common codecs in a flexible container.

It is useful for archival sets, concert recordings, soundtrack packaging, or technical collections where rich container features matter.

For everyday music playback, M4A, FLAC, or MP3 are more broadly convenient.
