JPEG 2000 Image Compression SDK Libraries

LEADTOOLS compression libraries for .NET 6+, .NET Framework, Xamarin, UWP, C++ Class Library, C#, VB, C/C++, Java, Objective-C, Swift, and HTML / JavaScript developers fully supports the JPEG 2000 International Standard. This wavelet-based image compression is a fast and flexible solution. LEAD is committed to support all future parts as released by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. Therefore, LEADTOOLS JPEG 2000 support will continue to grow as the JPEG 2000 standard grows.

Versatile and robust JPEG 2000 Image Compression Libraries

JPEG 2000 Libraries

The LEADTOOLS compression libraries supports lossy and lossless compression and decompression of grayscale, extended grayscale, and color JPEG 2000 codestreams in JP2, JPX, J2K, TIFF, and more file formats and memory. Additionally, lossy images rotated, flipped, and reversed without re-encoding the data. The alpha channel of 32-bit images can be compressed separately from the image data as either lossy or lossless, and you can control the active bits of the alpha channel to improve compression. Designed to store multiple resolutions in the same file, JPEG 2000 compression provides an efficient means to store image data that needs to be rendered to devices with vastly different screen sizes or mediums. Additionally, error checking and robustness allows the transmission of JPEG 2000 encoded files over a noisy medium. If an error occurs in the decoding, an image still will be displayed.

The LEADTOOLS compression libraries fully support JPEG 2000 Part 2 (JPX) file format features, including:

  • Save list of images such as 3D volumetric encoded slices
  • Opacity channels
  • All standard metadata boxes such as XML, digital signature, and intellectual property
  • Append and extract additional images or frames
  • Append and extract metadata boxes
  • Full control of codestreams, frames, and metadata
  • Read and write GML data
  • Animation support
Control display effects during decompression

Progressive Decompression

LEADTOOLS JPEG 2000 libraries support progression order to control the display effect during a progressive decompression. The available progression orders are:

Quality Axis
The image starts blurred and the sharpness increases as more image data is received.
Resolution Axis
The image is loaded as a smaller version and the physical pixel size increases as more image data is received.
Color Axis
The image is loaded one color plane at a time. The image starts loading as a grayscale image and the color will fill in as more image data is received.
Position Axis
The image is loaded as blocks. As more image data is received, more blocks are displayed.
