The main limitation with JPEG 2000 is that it is a lossy format.  Every time a JPEG 2000 file is edited and saved some visual quality is lost in the process and cannot be restored.  Thus JPEG 2000 is not well suited to files that will undergo multiple edits.  Indeed, the JPEG 2000 format can not be used in astronomical or medical imaging where the exact reproduction of the data is required.

If you need to edit a JPEG 2000 file, you should save it to a lossless format such as PNG, make the edits, and then create a JPEG 2000 for distribution. This is where Contenta Converter PREMIUM can be a huge assist.  Using Contenta Converter PREMIUM you can load a JP2 file and convert it to formats like PNG. I will demonstrate the quick and easy way to do this with Contenta Converter PREMIUM.

Step 1: Select your photos.

Click on the Add Photos button and select from your computer the .JP2 photos you wish to convert. Then click the ‘Next’ button.
