Convert PCDS to J2K
Convert PCDS images to J2K format, edit and optimize images online and free.
The PCDS file extension stands for Photo CD Multi-resolution Bitmap Graphics, a format developed by Kodak in 1991 for digitizing and storing high-quality images on CDs. PCDS files were used to store scanned prints and slides, leveraging proprietary encoding to maintain image quality. This format was part of Kodak's Photo CD system, which aimed to provide a reliable method for archiving and accessing digital photographs.
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.
