File Formats: JBIG2 Format (JB2)
    

LEADTOOLS for WPF reads and writes JBIG2 files.

The JBIG2 file format is a raster file format created by ISO/IEC 14492. This format is support by Image Power. This format is an industry standard lossless, lossy and lossy to lossless compressed file format for bi-tonal (black and white) images.

Saving images in a JBIG2 format results in smaller image files sizes when compared to other industry standard compressed formats such as JBIG, CCITT G3 or G4. JBIG2 can compress bi-tonal images 2 - 5 times more than the same image compressed with the CCITT G4 compression.

The default extension used by this format is: JB2.

This file format does not support progressive loads and saves, stamps, or Lossless JPEG compression.

Support for this file format must be unlocked using the following support constant: RasterSupportType.Jbig2.

The file constants associated with this file format are:
