About the formats
Adobe Illustrator artwork
AI is Adobe Illustrator's native vector format, used by designers for logos, icons and illustrations. Modern AI files are PDF-compatible, so they can be rasterised to an image or, where supported, traced back to clean vectors.
Strengths
- Editable, resolution-independent vectors
- Industry standard for professional design
- PDF-compatible under the hood
Limitations
- Needs Illustrator or a converter to open
- Not viewable in browsers or most apps
- Overkill for everyday sharing
Best for: Opening or previewing designer artwork — usually converted to PNG, SVG or JPG to share.
JPEG 2000
JP2 (JPEG 2000) is an advanced image format offering both lossy and lossless compression with better quality than classic JPEG. It is used in archiving, medical imaging and cinema, but has limited everyday support.
Strengths
- Better quality than JPEG at the same size
- Lossless and lossy modes
- Strong for archival and medical imaging
Limitations
- Almost no browser support
- Limited consumer-app support
- Slower to encode/decode
Best for: Archival, medical and cinema imaging — converted to JPG or PNG for everyday sharing.
