'''PFM''' ('''Portable FloatMap''') is the unofficial floating point [[Netpbm formats|Netpbm image format]].

Such a format has been invented multiple times, in incompatible ways. The most standard version of it is probably the one supported by [[Netpbm]], which apparently came from the ''HDR Shop'' graphics software.
