- Description
- The JPEG 2000 Code Stream (j2c) file format is a type of image file format that is part of the JPEG 2000 family of image standards. This format is specifically designed for encoding images in a highly efficient manner, allowing for both lossless (exact reproduction) and lossy (approximate) compression. The j2c format focuses on the core coding stream of JPEG 2000 images, representing the encoded image data without additional metadata or structure.
- Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide). You have to convert it into a more accessible format if you don’t have a DEC terminal to view it.
