About the formats
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.
Bitmap image
BMP is an uncompressed raster format from the Windows world. It stores raw pixels with no quality loss, producing large but perfectly exact files.
Strengths
- Completely lossless, raw pixels
- Simple, widely readable on Windows
- No compression artefacts
Limitations
- Very large file sizes
- No transparency or animation
- Rarely used on the modern web
Best for: Legacy Windows workflows and cases where an uncompressed, exact bitmap is required.
