JB2 to IFF 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 IFF files?
IFF is an old image format associated with Amiga computers — a brand connected to Commodore, which used to be popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Commodore was one of the first types of personal computers to gain wide popularity among home users. An IFF file most likely contains an image that was created or edited using an image handling program on an Amiga computer. IFF files are currently considered obsolete and uncommon, so opening them with regular image viewers might be difficult.
