The bitmap image file format or bmp file for short, is a raster graphics image file. It uses a dot matrix data structure to represent pixelated points of color and to store digital image information. The format optionally supports compression and has wide cross platform support on all the major computer operating systems. Because bmp files are raster graphics files, image resolution is constrained meaning images in this format will not scale without loss in quality. This is in contrast to vector graphics images that can scale to arbitrary resolutions.
The JP2 file extension, also known as JPEG2000, was created by the JPEG Committee in the year 2000. The JP2 succeeded the first JPEG Standard in 1992 which was cosine transform based. It features the use of a "wavelet-base", unlike its predecessor JPEG standards. This file format uses a different image compression method. The compression method involves altering certain sections of the image, in terms of quality reduction. This method of compression ensures smaller file sizes and optimal storage. The JP2 file format has made several improvements over the JPEG Standard since 1992. The JP2 files can make use of both the lossless and lossy compression techniques.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for BMP to JP2 conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload BMP files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized JP2 results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent JP2 audio with dependable progress tracking.
Because bmp files can be uncompressed, it is capable of supporting larger file sizes and thus higher resolution and higher quality images. This capability makes bmp files inappropriate for digital distribution via webpages or through bandwidth limited networks. Pixels in a bitmap support deferent color depths from 1 bit of either black or white, to grayscale which is 8 bits, to finally 24 bit RGB giving a possible 16777216 possible colors. Color depth can go as high as 32 bits however this is rarely encountered or needed in practice.
JP2 files are compress bitmap images. They support ICC profiles, grid resolution information handling, lossy compression, and lossless compression. JP2 files are often viewed similar to JPEG files and are smaller than JPEG files in terms of file size. The JP2 file extension is a superior file format compared to the JPEG in terms of sophistication. JP2 files work with most modern image viewers and image editing applications. It may not be compatible with image editing programs or viewers released before 2014 since it was released recently.
Upload your image file in the BMP format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select JP2 as the output format and click Convert. Adjust optional settings if needed.
Download the converted image file. Each file stays available for up to 5 downloads.
