Can Photoshop Open JP2 Files?

Last updated on November 19, 2022 @ 4:36 pm

JP2 files are a file format created by JP2K, which is an ISO standard. They are typically used for images that have been compressed using the JPEG 2000 compression algorithm. Photoshop can open JP2 files, but they must first be converted to another file format before they can be edited.

To convert a JP2 file to another file format:

  1. Open the JP2 file in Photoshop.
  2. Click File >Export.
  3. In the Format drop-down menu, select the desired file format.
  4. Click Export
  5. .

Note:

After you convert a JP2 file to another file format, you will not be able to convert it back to a JP2 file. If you need to keep the JP2 file format, make a copy of the original file before converting it.

PRO TIP: Photoshop can open JP2 files, but it will not retain the layers or other editing features of the original file.
