- 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.
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
