No, converting BPG to PPM does not cause additional quality loss — PPM uses lossless compression. However, any artifacts already present in the original BPG file will persist in the PPM output.
PPM files are typically 2-5x larger than equivalent BPG files because PPM preserves all pixel data. This is expected and necessary for lossless quality.
Yes, PPM supports transparency. Alpha channel information from BPG is preserved during conversion.
