The .ICO filename extension refers to the ICON image file format originally developed by Microsoft. The extension is used to represent computer icon images of varying sizes designed for the operating system Microsoft Windows. Its use today has extended to developing icons for programs designed using the Microsoft developer's suite Visual Studio and other applications. Similar to other device independent bitmap file formats, the ICON file format is also in the raster graphics class of image formats where each individual pixel is part of an orthogonal dot matrix data structure with support for a limited palette of color information. As a resource file, the .ico file format has its strength in contextual use. This allows for multiple icon images of different color depth or size to be stored within the resource file and used when appropriate.
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 ICO to JP2 conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload ICO 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.
Each .ico file begins with an icon directory specifying the number of images, color depth, and size. Through its history, ICON file formats have come from containing images at a resolution from 32x32 in monochrome, to containing images up to 256x256 in resolution with up to 16.7 million colors.
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.
