JB2 to SHP 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 SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
