What is a JP2 file?
JP2 is the file extension for JPEG 2000, a newer image compression standard created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. It offers better compression efficiency and image quality than traditional JPG, supporting lossless compression and transparency.
Despite its technical advantages, JP2 hasn’t replaced JPG due to limited software support and slower performance.
How to open JP2 files
JP2 files can be opened with programs like IrfanView, GIMP (with plugin), and some Adobe tools. Modern web browsers don’t natively support JP2.
To make a JP2 image more accessible, just convert it to PNG or JPG using AnyConv — it's fast and free online.

What is a JPG file?
JPG (or JPEG) stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the team that created the standard back in the early 1990s. It’s one of the most common image formats in the world, known for compressing digital photos while retaining acceptable quality.
JPG uses lossy compression, which means some image data is discarded during saving. This makes JPG files smaller, ideal for web use, email, and social sharing — but less ideal for images that require fine detail or multiple edits.
How to open JPG files
JPG files can be opened on virtually any device — Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux — using default apps like Photos, Preview, or third-party software such as Photoshop and GIMP. Even web browsers can display JPGs natively.
This universal support makes JPG the go-to format for photography, online graphics, and digital documents.
