Java JPEG2000 Reader

The JDeli Java image library includes a JPEG2000 Reader to read JPEG2000 images into Java. The JPEG2000 Decoder is written in 100% Java and provides JPEG2000 support with no dependencies.

Key information:

  • 100% Java solution. No dlls or dependencies on native code
  • Supports Bitlevel, Grayscale, RGB, CMYK and YCCK images
  • Fastest Jpeg2000 Decoder in Java

Quick start:

Add JDeli to your project via Maven or Gradle, or see using JDeli with Java modules.

JDeli can automatically detect the file type and will use the JPEG2000 File Reader

BufferedImage image = JDeli.read(jpeg2000ImageFile);

or

Jpeg2000Decoder decoder = new Jpeg2000Decoder();
BufferedImage image = decoder.read(jpeg2000Data);

See the full Javadoc.

Performance comparisons:

These figures were generated using jmh (as documented on our blog) with a standard set of images (also documented). They should be easy to replicate if you wish to validate, the code is on GitHub.

The higher the number, the better.

Frequently asked questions

Can Java read or decode JPEG2000 files without external libraries?

No. Java’s built-in ImageIO does not support reading or decoding JPEG2000 files. JDeli provides a pure-Java JPEG2000 decoder with no dependencies required.

Does reading or decoding JPEG2000 in Java with JDeli require additional libraries?

No. JDeli is a 100% Java library with no dependencies. It runs on any platform where the JVM runs with no additional installation.

What input types does JDeli support for reading JPEG2000?

JDeli can read and decode JPEG2000 from a File, InputStream, or byte array.


Why JDeli?

  • Support image formats such as AVIF, HEIC and JPEG XL that are not supported in Java.
  • Process images up to 3x faster than ImageIO and alternative Java image libraries.
  • Prevent JVM crashes caused by native code in other image libraries such as ImageIO.
  • Handle JPEG, PNG, TIFF image file formats fully in Java.
  • Keep your Image files secure as JDeli makes no calls to any external system or third party library.
