PPF2 is the version 2 of the PaulOS Image Format - now called the PaulOS Picture Format. The standard extension used for it is PF2.

At setting 0, no detail is lost. At higher details, compression artifacts, in the form of blockyness can appear.


PPF2 is based on some of the ideas uses in PIMG, however, it is capable of higher levels of compression, and higher quality images.

PPF2 is a complete replacement for PIMG - PIMG will no longer be used in PaulOS. PPF2 is now the standard format.
