Most people convert PBM to SGI for compatibility — a website, app or device insists on SGI, and PBM simply won't open. SGI is widely supported, which makes it a dependable target. Under the hood the conversion runs on libvips and ImageMagick — the same libraries that power image pipelines across the web — so colour, transparency and metadata are handled correctly wherever the target format supports them.
It comes up when publishing online, submitting to a service with strict format rules, or archiving a collection in a single consistent format.
Privacy is the default here. Your PBM file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted, downloaded the moment it's ready, and then deleted automatically a short time afterwards.
