How to convert JP2 to PDF

  1. Add your JP2 images

    Drop JP2 (JPEG 2000, J2K) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. PDF is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the PDF, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

JP2 to PDF: what to expect

JP2 does not open in Chrome, Firefox or most apps. PDF looks the same on every device and keeps several pages in one file. JP2 is at home in scanned archives, medical images and digital cinema; PDF is the usual choice for documents that must look the same everywhere, and printing.

Add several files and you can also combine them into a single PDF. The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can choose the page size and set the quality.

JPEG 2000 files with a transparency channel, extra components or subsampled colour are refused for now; greyscale and ordinary colour files convert. The decoder is a WebAssembly module that downloads the first time and is cached. Each picture becomes one page. The page can match the picture's own size or be A4 or US Letter; on paper the sheet turns to suit the picture, which is shrunk to fit inside the margins and never enlarged.

JP2 vs PDF

JP2

JPEG 2000 image

JPEG 2000 replaces JPEG's blocky compression with wavelets, giving cleaner results at high compression and a true lossless mode. It never displaced JPEG on the web, but libraries and archives, DICOM medical images and cinema distribution use it. Safari is the only major browser that shows it.

PDF

PDF document

PDF fixes a document's layout so it looks identical on every screen and printer. That makes it the default for forms, invoices and anything sent to print, and also what makes it awkward to edit.

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The JP2 to PDF conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting JP2 to PDF?

Very little: the image is placed on a PDF page at its full resolution, stored as a high-quality JPEG to keep the file small. You can raise or lower the quality under Options.

Can I convert several JP2 files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP. You can also merge them into a single PDF.

How do I convert JP2 to PDF on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the JP2 file, press Convert and save the PDF. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Because nothing is uploaded, the practical limit is your device's memory. Very large files can fail on phones with little free memory; a computer copes better.
