Convert PWP to J2C

The PWP file extension stands for PhotoWorks Image File, associated with the PhotoWorks software developed by Seattle FilmWorks. Primarily used in the late 1990s and early 2000s for storing color images, PWP files are similar to SFW files and were commonly used for image downloads from the internet. Although the software is now discontinued, PWP files can be converted to standard JPG images using specific converters.

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.
