JPEG

You can use JPEGs for projects on the web, in Microsoft Office documents, or for projects that require printing at a high resolution. Paying attention to the resolution and file size with JPEGs is essential in order to produce a nice-looking project. JPG vs JPEG? There is no difference between the .jpg and .jpeg filename extensions. Regardless of how you name your file, it is still the same format and will behave the same way. The only reason that the two extensions exist for the same format is because .jpeg was shortened to .jpg to accommodate the three-character limit in early versions of Windows. While there is no such requirement today, .jpg remains the standard and default on many image software programs.

JP2

JP2, or JPEG 2000, is a file format for storing bitmap images with advanced compression and file data capabilities. The standard filename extension for JP2 files is .jp2. JP2 files can be compressed using either lossless or lossy compression. Lossless compression results in a larger but higher quality image. JP2 files can store metadata such as dimensions, tone scale, color space, and intellectual property rights. JP2 files can be decoded at various resolutions. Applications: Programs that can open JP2 files include Apple Preview, IrfanView, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and PaintShop Pro. Not all web browsers support JP2 formats, so a plug-in may be required to view them. The Joint Photographic Experts Group developed the JPEG 2000 standard from 1997 to 2000 to replace the original JPEG standard, which was created in 1992.
