Convert G3 to J2C

The G3 file extension refers to the CCITT Group 3 Fax Image, a standardized format developed by the Consultative Committee for International Telegraphy and Telephony (CCITT), now known as ITU-T. This format was created to efficiently compress black-and-white fax documents for transmission over telephone lines. It employs a method called Modified Huffman Coding for data compression, enabling reduced transmission time and bandwidth usage. G3 was widely adopted in the 1980s and 1990s as the primary standard for fax transmissions, ensuring compatibility across different fax machines and systems.

The J2C file extension stands for JPEG 2000 Code Stream, a format defined in Part 1 of the JPEG 2000 standard. Developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) from 1997 to 2000, J2C files utilize wavelet-based compression, supporting both lossy and lossless compression. This format is primarily used for high-quality image storage and transmission, offering superior compression efficiency and flexibility compared to the original JPEG standard. J2C files are often embedded within other file formats like JP2 for enhanced metadata support.
