Delivers both lossless (bit-preserving) and lossy compression within a code stream.The quality progressively improves as more data bits arrive. Supports progressive decoding, an efficient code stream that displays a lower-quality version of an image during download.Image compression usually occurs in digital cameras, scanners, frame grabbers, medical mechanisms, satellite systems, and photo-editing programs. Incorporated were state-of-the-art compression techniques based on a discrete transformation of wavelengths, enabling a lossless reduction in file size.īesides being slated for many types of still images-bilevel, gray level, color, multicomponent-with various characteristics, JPEG 2000 also unifies imaging models, such as those for real-time transmissions, image-library archival, limited buffers, and client-server structures. JPEG 2000 is an image-encoding system created in 2000 as a single architecture by the Joint Photographic Experts Group to replace JPEG. This article elaborates in depth the pros and cons of JPEG 2000 in relation to seven common image formats.

A recent Cloudinary post sheds light on JPEG 2000’s format’s usability and the reasons why it’s not as widely adopted as other formats, such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF. In case you wondered if JPEG 2000 is still in use, the answer is a resounding yes.
