    Local libraries are scanning old high school yearbooks and providing pdf, zipped jp2 formats on Internet Archive.
    I prefer jpg for viewing and zooming in, etc.
    Most commercial software doesn't handle jp2. I tried ffmpeg and it errors out on some of the files.
    I'm looking for free or cheap conversion software.

    I suppose I question why jpeg 2000 is used for archival purposes since it seems to have dead-ended.

    I was considering IrfanView. Just not sure what it will do to my file associations when it installs.

    EDIT: I installed IrfanView on a different user account to try it out.
    I ran the conversion on several hundred jp2 files and it appears to work great. No errors.

  3. Try ImageMagick - seem to provide support for JPEG 2000 https://imagemagick.org/script/jp2.php

    That looks interesting. I'll take a look.
    Thanks.

    I have concerns with graphics programs grabbing associations with graphics file types when they install.
    IrfanView gives you a choice and you can select "none" and change the settings later.
    It's usually unknown how they behave until you install it.

  7. IrfanView is a terrific program I have been using it for many years.
