Starting point: PBM - PBM is the Netpbm bitonal format storing one bit per pixel. Thresholds to pure black and white with no gray levels. Some writers use JPEG-in-TIFF encoding that not every reader opens. Export TIFF/TIF from PBM at matched dimensions; every pixel maps across, so large sources stay large.
