Convert JP2 to WEBP

What is JP2 file?

The JP2 (JPEG 2000 Core Image File) is a file format developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group for use in digital photography applications. It is also known as JPEG 2000 Part 1, and is different from the JPG image file format. JPEG 2000 is a significant improvement over traditional JPEG, featuring improved compression Levels, bit-depth level support, and color spaces. It is a high-quality lossy compression that produces better details and colors than the JPEG standard. [ ⏩ ] JP2 file extension

What is WEBP file?

WEBP (WEBP) is a type of image file format created by Google. It features both lossless and lossy compression, making it an ideal choice for web images. WEBP files are similar to JPEG and PNG, but they are typically smaller in size while offering comparable levels of quality. The compressed size of WEBP also allows for smaller webpage loading times when compared to other image formats. [ ⏩ ] WEBP file extension

How to convert the file from JP2 to WEBP?

To successfully convert the JP2 file to WEBP, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.JP2). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case WEBP (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than WEBP).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. JP2 to WEBP. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting JP2 files to WEBP files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension WEBP, while before this step we had the JP2 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new WEBP file, or not.
