Convert APNG (Animated PNG) to JPM

Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is an extension of the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format designed to support animated images. Introduced in 2004, APNG allows for animated sequences while retaining backward compatibility with non-animated PNG files. This format is utilized for its lossless compression, making it ideal for web graphics where image quality is paramount. APNG files are widely used for animated icons, logos, and other elements that benefit from high-quality animations without the artifacts common in GIF files. Its concise, efficient structure makes it a preferred choice among developers and designers focused on optimizing web performance.

The JPM file extension stands for JPEG 2000 Compound Image File Format. It is used for storing multiple images and graphics, incorporating JPEG 2000 compression to achieve high-quality visuals with reduced file sizes. JPM files are particularly useful in scenarios that require efficient storage and handling of complex image data, such as digital archiving, medical imaging, and document management. Developed as part of the broader JPEG 2000 standard, the JPM format was introduced to enhance image quality and compression over its predecessor, JPEG. Its support for transparency, layers, and metadata makes it a versatile choice in professional IT and imaging applications.
