PEF to JP2

Upload a PEF camera RAW file and save it as JP2. The converter uses server-side image processing for quick RAW export to common raster formats.

PEF is a highly specialized raster image format. Created by the manufacturer of Pentax cameras for storing digital images taken by these devices. The name is an abbreviation for Pentax Electronic File. PEF files are digital photographs (RAW) without any compression, color editing or distortion. Data taken directly from the Pentax camera sensor. This format is also used by some Samsung cameras. At the same time, PEF format files are not compatible with image viewers, they cannot be printed and edited in graphic editors, they are not available for posting online. All this is possible only when converting to another format.

JP2 is a bitmap image format. The JP2 format, i.e. JPEG 2000 image, was developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. The JP2 file can be in the form of a photograph, drawing, digital fax, etc. File type: JPEG 2000 Core Image File. JPEG 2000 is the patent-pending bitmap image format. It has been licensed free of charge, and now it is an international standard (ISO / IEC 15444-1: 2004). Compared to the previous JPEG-1 standard, JPEG 2000 uses a completely different method to compress data (wavelet transform, wavelet transform). This method generally ensures higher image quality. It also gives a more compact file size. The JP2 format has a lot in common with the JPEG format, which is now especially popular. However, it differs in that it uses wavelet transform technology for compression, and discrete cosine transform has found application in JPEG. Using the first technology, you can get a better image, even when the file size is relatively smaller. There are also JP2 files with the extensions .J2K, JPF, MJ2, JPX and JPM. In order to open a file of this format, that is, to edit, use programs such as Mozilla Firefox, Adobe Photoshop, ACD Systems ACDSee, Google Chrome.
