Convert JP2 to TIFF

File Extension JP2
Full Name JPEG 2000 Image Format (ISO 15444-1) Format

Files with the .JP2 extension contain a compressed bitmap image creating using JPEG-2000 Core Coding. It is different from standardized JPEG files in that it uses a different type of algorithm during compression – one based on discrete wavelet transform – this allows for a non-lossy compression.

File Extension TIFF
Full Name Aldus Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) Bitmap Image

File with a .TIFF extension contains high quality raster images with colour depth from 1 up to 24 bites, many layers of the image and many pages, stored with lossy or lossless compression.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "JP2") to another (referred to as "TIFF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, JP2 file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format JP2 to format TIFF becomes essential.

So, how can we perform JP2 to TIFF file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format JP2 and transforming it into format TIFF. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of JP2 to TIFF converters.

Conversion from JP2 to TIFF

How to convert the JP2 file to TIFF?

If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of JP2 to TIFF. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the JP2 file:

  • Please indicate on your computer the source file JP2, the format of which you are going to change
  • Load the JP2 file to the application
  • Select the output format of the TIFF file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file TIFF on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted TIFF file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
