OpenJPEG is an open-source library to encode and decode JPEG 2000 images. Version 1.3 was released on 21st December 2007.

Under development are:

  • JP2 and MJ2 (Motion JPEG 2000) file formats
  • an indexing tool useful for the JPIP protocol
  • JPWL-tools for error-resilience

and other features.

[edit] Support for lossless 16-bit images

Unlike JasPer, another open-source JPEG 2000 implementation, OpenJPEG fully respects the JPEG 2000 specification and can compress/decompress lossless 16-bit images.
