About JPEG 2000 to FTS Conversion
JP2 (introduced 2000) and FTS are both image formats, but they differ in important ways. JP2 (JPEG 2000) offers wavelet-based compression with better quality than JPEG at the same bit rate. FTS is a widely used file format.
When you convert JP2 to FTS, the goal is to convert between formats quickly. Converting JP2 to FTS maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings. Understanding these technical differences helps you choose the right format for your workflow.
Your JP2 file is decoded and re-encoded as FTS. The conversion involves 4 steps: (1) your jp2 file is uploaded and validated, (2) the file is decoded (parsed into its raw data), (3) the data is re-encoded in fts format, (4) the converted file is ready for download.
CocoConvert's converter handles the entire pipeline server-side using FFmpeg, Sharp, and qpdf — battle-tested libraries used by streaming platforms and enterprise tools. Files are encrypted in transit and deleted within 24 hours.
This conversion is ideal when you When you need a FTS file. For the opposite direction, CocoConvert also supports FTS to JP2 conversion.
How to Convert JPEG 2000 to FTS
- 1
Upload .jp2 file
Select your JP2 file by dragging it to the upload zone or using the file picker. Batch upload is available for multiple files.
- 2
Choose .fts
Set FTS as the output format. The converter uses optimal settings based on the JP2→FTS conversion profile.
- 3
Convert
The server-side engine decodes your JP2 file and re-encodes it as FTS. Processing time depends on file size and complexity.
- 4
Download result
Grab your converted .fts file. Multiple output files can be downloaded together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between JP2 and FTS?
JP2 (JPEG 2000) offers wavelet-based compression with better quality than JPEG at the same bit rate. FTS is a widely used file format.
Does JP2 to FTS conversion affect quality?
Converting JP2 to FTS maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
Which format has better compression, JP2 or FTS?
JP2 uses both compression. FTS is widely supported. The better choice depends on whether you prioritize file size or quality.
How long does JP2 to FTS conversion take?
Most conversions finish in seconds. Larger files or complex image content may take 10–30 seconds. CocoConvert processes files in parallel for batch jobs.
Is JP2 or FTS better for long-term storage?
Both formats use lossy compression, so consider keeping your original source file for long-term storage.
