In computing we can find a large number of formats, both video, image and sound. Although most files are in the most popular formats, and can be opened natively with any operating system, not all formats are. Previously in Windows Noticias, we have talked about format.web y djvu.
Now it is the turn of the jp2 format, a format derived from jpg, but which reduces the space it occupies even more. This format is widely used on web pages, so all browsers allow us to open them without any problem. The problem is that the browser is not an application that gives us versatility.
It does not give us versatility, not only because it only allows us to open images one at a time, but also, it does not allow us to perform any operation with it, be it resizing, exporting it to another format, enlarging or reducing the image ... In these cases, to not be natively compatible with Windows 10, once we are forced to download a third-party application in order to open them.
El free GIMP photo editor, it is a fantastic solution to be able edit and work with these types of files, although it only allows us to open them one by one and not together. If you work occasionally with these types of files, GIMP is the best application we have at our disposal.
Pixillion Image Converter, a free application that we can download from the Microsoft Store, allows us not only to quickly view images in this format, but also allows us to convert them to any format, to be able to share them with other people.
The application is free for domestic use, so we must take this into account when installing and running it for the first time so that it does not ask us again and again to buy the corresponding license.
