JP2 Viewer - Render JPEG 2000 Images on Android

JP2 is the core file type of JPEG 2000, an imaging standard that uses wavelet compression rather than the discrete cosine transform of the original JPEG. Archives, libraries, medical imaging systems and geospatial platforms adopted it for the quality it preserves at high compression, while most consumer software never added support, which is why a JP2 file often fails to open in an Android gallery.

GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud gives an Android app a dependable way to display these images. A REST call renders the JP2 as PNG, JPG, PDF or HTML, and the result is shown by the same view components your app already uses for ordinary pictures. Adding the Java SDK through Gradle or Maven keeps the client code short, samples are provided, and zoom with thumbnails supports the detailed inspection these files usually require.

When one file only has to be viewed once, the free online GroupDocs.Viewer app opens JP2 in a browser. Developers who want to check the rendering quality first can use the interactive API Explorer during a free trial.
