JB2 to DIS Conversion: FAQ
What are JB2 files?
JBIG2 (.jb2) is a compression format designed specifically for black-and-white, scanned pages. It builds a dictionary of repeated glyphs—letters, digits, logos—so each unique symbol is stored once and merely referenced thereafter, yielding files 5–20 × smaller than fax-style TIFF G4. The format supports both lossless and lossy modes; the latter can introduce character-substitution errors if tuned too aggressively. Widely used inside PDFs and office scanners, JBIG2 offers unmatched compactness for text documents but demands careful settings and secure decoders.
What are DIS files?
The DIS extension is associated with the DKB Ray-Tracer, a piece of software originally created by David Kirk Buck and Aaron A. Collins, which served as a predecessor for the POV Ray-Tracer. The latter software has the capacity to generate images from text-based scene descriptions and works on various platforms. Though fairly popular on PC/MS-DOS platforms at its release, the DIS format is now obsolete. It can, however, be viewed and converted to more accessible formats.
