- Description
- A JP2 file is a compressed bitmap image created using JPEG 2000 Core Coding. It incorporates a wavelet compression algorithm instead of Digital Cosine Transform (DCT) compression, which is used by standard JPEG images. JP2 files can be stored using lossy and lossless compression.
- The AW file type, standing for Answer Wizard File, is associated primarily with Microsoft Office applications, particularly with Microsoft Word and its integrated help system. AW files are designed to store indexes and data used by the Answer Wizard feature, enabling users to search for and receive help or answers to questions about using Microsoft Office programs. The Answer Wizard offers a more intuitive way for users to find assistance by allowing them to type questions in natural language, after which it searches through its database of AW files to provide relevant help.
