- 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 Portable Document Format (PDF) is a versatile file type designed to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Created by Adobe in the 1990s, PDF files can encapsulate text, fonts, images, and even interactive elements like hyperlinks, forms, and multimedia content. This format is widely used for its ability to preserve the original formatting of a document, ensuring that it can be viewed and printed as intended across different platforms.
