Converting TIFF to PPM produces an uncompressed RGB dump for academic or scientific pipelines. Useful when custom image processing code expects Netpbm format and TIFF is the source.

Alpha is stripped entirely. 16-bit TIFF precision is lost in standard PPM (8-bit). File size is enormous because PPM has no compression. Only the first TIFF page converts.
PPM is supported by Netpbm tools, ImageMagick, and GIMP. Not a consumer format.
TIFF is a 1986 container format used throughout professional photography, print production, and archival imaging. It supports lossless compression, multiple pages, 16-bit-per-channel color, embedded color profiles, and high bit-depth grayscale. Print shops, medical imaging, and GIS systems expect TIFF.
PPM is a trivially simple uncompressed RGB format from the Netpbm suite. Each pixel is three bytes, prefixed by a tiny text header. Used in academic image processing, scientific computing pipelines, Linux kernel boot splashes, and as a debug format because anyone can write a parser in 20 lines.
Not in standard 8-bit PPM. 16-bit PPM variants exist but support is inconsistent across tools.
Only the first page converts to PPM. Other pages are ignored.

Yes. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never leave your device.
There's no hard limit, but because everything runs in your browser you're bounded by available memory. Very large images (over a few hundred megapixels) can hit browser memory limits. Process in smaller batches if you run into issues.
