About GIF to JP2 conversion

JP2 was created by Joint Photographic Experts Group in 2000 and is best for medical imaging, archival. Converting GIF to JP2 gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where JP2 is required. GIF files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to JP2 solves compatibility issues.
