JP2

JPEG 2000 (JP2) is a highly efficient image file format offering superior compression and quality compared to standard JPEG. It supports lossless and lossy compression, making it ideal for digital cinema, medical imaging, and archiving. With advanced features like progressive decoding and error resilience, JP2 is a versatile choice for high-resolution imagery across various applications.

PGM

The Portable Gray Map (PGM) format is a simple, portable image file that represents grayscale images. It is part of the Netpbm format family, suitable for easy manipulation and conversion. PGM files store pixel intensity values in plain text or binary, ensuring broad compatibility across various platforms and applications. Ideal for graphic designers and developers looking for a straightforward approach to grayscale image processing.
