Convert EPSF to J2K

An EPSF, or Encapsulated PostScript File, is a graphics file format used primarily in the publishing and printing industries for embedding high-resolution images within other PostScript documents. Introduced by Adobe Systems in the late 1980s, EPSF files enable seamless integration of complex visual elements, maintaining quality and device independence. They encapsulate both vector and raster graphics, allowing detailed illustrations and photographs to be embedded without loss of resolution, facilitating professional-quality output across various platforms and devices.

The J2K file extension stands for JPEG 2000 Code Stream Syntax, a part of the JPEG 2000 standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). Introduced in 2000, JPEG 2000 offers superior image compression and quality compared to the original JPEG format. The J2K codestream is highly flexible, supporting both lossy and lossless compression, and allows for scalable decoding, which means images can be efficiently accessed at various resolutions and quality levels. This makes J2K ideal for applications requiring high-quality image storage and transmission, such as medical imaging, digital cinema, and satellite imagery.
