JPEG 2000 (JP2) offers superior quality and compression compared to original JPEG, but it never achieved widespread adoption. It's used in digital cinema (DCP), medical imaging (DICOM), and some document archiving workflows. Most apps can't open JP2 files natively — PixelForge converts them to any format you need.

What is JP2?

JPEG 2000 is a wavelet-based image compression standard introduced in 2000. Unlike original JPEG (which uses DCT), JPEG 2000 uses discrete wavelet transform for better quality at the same file size, supports lossless and lossy modes, transparency, HDR, and multi-resolution access. It is the standard format for digital cinema (DCI), medical imaging, and some government archiving systems.
