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 | ICON |
Full Name | Icon Image Format |
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "JP2") to another (referred to as "ICON"). 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 ICON becomes essential.
So, how can we perform JP2 to ICON 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 ICON. 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 ICON converters.
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 ICON. 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:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
