JB2 to FLIF 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 FLIF files?
FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format) is a royalty-free format launched at the end of 2015 as "work in progress" with the aim of offering a better alternative for storing lossless images than the existing PNG, WebP, BPG, JPEG2000 and JPEG XR. FLIF provides similar image quality as the other extensions, but in a file size than can be up to 74% smaller. The new format uses a form of the Adam7 algorithm for compressing images, offering progressive interlacing that allows users to obtain a reasonable encoding of an image even from a partial download.
