When not to convert BMP to PNM

Skip PNM for the smallest share: lossless output stays large, so prefer a lossy target when sending BMP files.
Flatten transparency first: PNM has no alpha channel, so composite BMP over a background color.

Limits

Starting point: BMP - BMP is Windows' native raster format, commonly stored without compression. Uncompressed files run large; prefer PNG for the same pixels. Readers map it to the underlying bitmap type before conversion. Export PNM from BMP at matched dimensions; every pixel maps across, so large sources stay large.
