FAQ
JBIG2 to DDS Conversion
What are JBIG2 files?
JBIG2 (.jbig2) is a bi-level image compression standard (ITU-T T.88) optimized for scanned text and documents. It encodes repeated symbols through a shared dictionary and uses arithmetic coding to minimize data size. Supporting both lossless and lossy modes, JBIG2 achieves far higher compression than TIFF G4, especially on text-rich pages. Commonly embedded in PDF and DjVu files, it is ideal for compact monochrome document storage and transmission.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
