How to Convert JP2 to PNG — Quick & Free
Fast, instant JPEG 2000 to PNG conversion. No signup required. Just drop your .jp2 file and get .png in seconds.
Batch Settings
Some metadata may not survive
Your JP2 file may contain EXIF metadata. PNG has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
Willkommen auf unserer spezialisierten Seite für die Konvertierung von JP2-Dateien in das weit verbreitete PNG-Format. JP2, oft in technischen und archivierenden Kontexten eingesetzt, bietet zwar eine hohe Bildqualität und effiziente Kompression, stößt aber in der alltäglichen Anwendung oder bei der Integration in gängige Geschäftsanwendungen oft an Grenzen. PNG hingegen besticht durch seine breite Kompatibilität, verlustfreie Kompression und die hervorragende Darstellung von Grafiken mit Transparenz – ideal für Webanwendungen, Präsentationen und die Weiterverarbeitung in Office-Dokumenten. Unser intuitiver Konverter ermöglicht Ihnen eine schnelle und sichere Umwandlung, damit Ihre wertvollen Bilddaten in jedem System reibungslos genutzt werden können. Profitieren Sie von der einfachen Handhabung und der zuverlässigen Umwandlung, die Ihre Datenintegrität stets gewährleistet.
- CAD-Zeichnungen für Präsentationen aufbereiten
- Technische Dokumentationen für den Druck optimieren
- Archivbilder für Webportale konvertieren
In Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz wird bei der Langzeitarchivierung und im Ingenieurwesen oft auf JP2 gesetzt. Die Umwandlung zu PNG ist hier besonders relevant, um Kompatibilität mit Standard-Bürosoftware und Web-Anwendungen zu gewährleisten, ohne dabei die Bildqualität zu beeinträchtigen.
About JPEG 2000 to PNG Conversion
Short answer: yes, you can convert JP2 to PNG online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .jp2 file to CocoConvert, pick PNG as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.
Now for the details. JP2 (JPEG 2000) offers wavelet-based compression with better quality than JPEG at the same bit rate. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, making it perfect for graphics, logos, and screenshots. Converting between these two formats lets you improve file compatibility across devices.
Full Name: JP2 uses JPEG 2000, while PNG uses Portable Network Graphics. Compression: JP2 uses Lossy & Lossless, while PNG uses Lossless. Transparency: JP2 uses Yes, while PNG uses Yes.
Your JP2 file is decoded and re-encoded as PNG. Converting JP2 to PNG maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.
Need to convert more than one file? Free users can do 5 per hour. Pro gets 100 per hour with files up to 5 GB each.

What Happens When You Convert JPEG 2000 to PNG
Your JP2 image is decoded into raw pixel data, then re-encoded as PNG.
Your JP2 file is decoded — the compressed/stored pixel data is expanded into raw RGBA (with alpha channel) pixels
Pixels are re-encoded using Portable Network Graphics's lossless compression
Metadata (EXIF, ICC profiles) is transferred where PNG supports it
The PNG file is saved and ready for download

- ✓A website, service, or platform only accepts PNG uploads
- ✓You need a file that works in web browsers
- ✓You need maximum device and software compatibility
Frequently Asked Questions
Is JP2 to PNG conversion free?
Yes. CocoConvert offers free JP2 to PNG conversion with generous daily limits — 25 minutes of processing time and up to 5 files per hour (250 MB each). Pro plans remove these limits.
How fast is JP2 to PNG conversion?
Most files convert in 2–10 seconds depending on size. Large image files may take 30 seconds. Batch jobs process in parallel for maximum speed.
What happens to my files after conversion?
Your uploaded JP2 file and the converted PNG file are both automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours. They are never shared, sold, or analysed.
Does converting JP2 to PNG lose quality?
Converting JP2 to PNG maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
Can I convert PNG back to JP2?
Yes, CocoConvert supports PNG to JP2 conversion as well. However, if the original conversion involved lossy compression, converting back won't recover the lost data.
Versions are pinned in our worker Dockerfile and re-built via CI on every change.
