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.
The .pcd extension is used by different applications of which the Kodak Photo CD Image format file is the primary format used by Kodak scanners. Other associations of this extension include Pure Component Data of ChemSep, Pokemon Wonder Card of Pokemon Nintendo DS and Point Cloud Data of PCL.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for JP2 to PCD conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload JP2 files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized PCD 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 PCD audio with dependable progress tracking.
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.
The Kodak Photo CD Image format uses the .pcd extension to store photos with a high resolution on CDs by Kodak scanners. A PCD format can store as many as five various resolutions of the same image in one single file.
Upload your image file in the JP2 format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select PCD 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.
