Convert JP2 to EPS

Understanding jp2 and eps file formats

JP2 (JPEG 2000 Part 1) is an advanced raster image format that offers superior compression and image quality compared to the traditional JPEG format. It is commonly used in digital imaging, archiving, and professional photography due to its support for lossless and lossy compression.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector-based graphics file format widely used in desktop publishing and graphic design. EPS files can contain both vector and bitmap data, making them ideal for high-resolution printing and scalable graphics.
