Input file

What is NB file?
The NB file extension is used by Mathematica Notebook, a symbolic computation software developed by Wolfram Research. It is the primary document format used by this system. It saves notebooks, which consist of programs and other forms of input along with the output generated by Mathematica Notebook. Mathematica notebooks are graphical representations that combine text, mathematical equations, images, interactive elements and other graphics in one file. [ ⏩ ] NB file extension
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
How to convert the file from NB to JP2?
To successfully convert the NB file to JP2, 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.NB). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case JP2 (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 JP2).
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. NB to JP2. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting NB files to JP2 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 JP2, while before this step we had the NB file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new JP2 file, or not.
