Convert JNG to J2K

The JPEG Network Graphics (JNG) file extension is designed for storing JPEG-encoded image data within the PNG file format. Introduced as part of the MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) format, JNG was created to provide a flexible, high-quality image format that supports both lossy and lossless compression. It is particularly useful in applications requiring the integration of JPEG compression within a wider range of data types and multimedia elements. Though not widely adopted, JNG offers enhanced compatibility and versatility for complex imaging tasks in computer graphics and web development.

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.
