About JPEG 2000 to JPEG conversion

JPEG 2000 (JP2) is a format used in medical imaging, satellite imagery, and digital cinema. Despite its technical advantages, it's not widely supported by browsers or consumer software. Converting to standard JPEG makes these images viewable on any device.

When to convert JPEG 2000 to JPEG

You have JP2 files from medical systems, satellite data, or archives that need to be viewed on standard computers or shared with others.

This tool converts JPEG 2000 to standard JPEG at your chosen quality level. Quality 90 preserves excellent detail.

Note that JPEG 2000's lossless capabilities are lost in conversion to lossy JPEG. Keep originals for archival purposes.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I open JP2 files?
JPEG 2000 requires special software or plugins that most computers don't have installed. Standard JPEG works everywhere.
Is JPEG 2000 better than JPEG?
JPEG 2000 offers better compression and supports lossless encoding, but its limited software support makes standard JPEG more practical for everyday use.
What are JP2 files used for?
JPEG 2000 is used in medical imaging (DICOM), digital cinema, satellite imagery, and archival scanning due to its superior quality and lossless option.
Will I lose quality?
Converting to lossy JPEG does reduce quality slightly. At quality 90+, the difference is usually imperceptible for viewing purposes.
Is my file stored on your servers?
Files are kept only long enough for you to download the result. Everything is automatically deleted within 24 hours.
