About BMP to JP2 conversion
BMP is introduced by Microsoft in 1987 with Windows 2.0 and is the classic Windows bitmap graphics standard for Windows legacy software, uncompressed pixel data. JP2 was created by Joint Photographic Experts Group in 2000 and is best for medical imaging, archival. Converting BMP to JP2 gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where JP2 is required. BMP files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to JP2 solves compatibility issues.
