FAQ
RAS to JP2 Conversion
What are RAS files?
The RAS file extension represents the CALS Raster File Format, a standard developed by the U.S. Department of Defense for the interchange of monochrome raster graphics. It is primarily used for storing high-resolution, black-and-white images such as engineering drawings, technical manuals, and scanned documents. CALS RAS files are typically used in military, aerospace, and government applications due to their consistency and archival suitability. The format supports compression and is optimized for printing and long-term storage.
What are JP2 files?
JP2 or JPEG 2000 is an improved version of JPEG, one of the most popular file formats for storing and transferring images. Compared to the latter, JP2 image files offer higher quality and smaller size images by using a different compression algorithm, which can be either lossy or lossless. JP2s are created using the JPEG2000 Core Coding application, but can also be obtained through conversion from other formats.
