Convert GIF to JPM

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It is widely used for its support of animated images, allowing for the compression of graphics with low file sizes and without compromising quality. It's particularly popular on the internet for memes, short animations, and simple graphics due to its ability to loop animations seamlessly. GIFs support up to 256 colors and use the LZW compression algorithm to minimize file size. The format's historical significance lies in its ability to efficiently store and transmit images in an era of slower internet speeds and remains a staple in digital communication and web design today.

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.
