Technical Quality Assessment
ProRes codec in MOV is the professional broadcast standard When this data is re-encoded into JPEG 2000 Image, Supports both lossy and lossless compression modes Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. JPEG 2000 Image's compression algorithm is highly efficient — expect output sizes 2-10x smaller than uncompressed data.
Extracting an image from MOV Video video produces a single frame snapshot in JPEG 2000 Image format. This is ideal for creating thumbnails, capturing specific moments from footage, or generating preview images for video content. Xonvert extracts the first frame at its original resolution.

Questions & Answers
What's the maximum number of files I can convert at once?▼
Free users can convert several files per batch. PRO users enjoy unlimited batch sizes. For very large batches, your device's memory is the only practical limit.
Why choose JP2 over other formats?▼
JPEG 2000 Image offers better compression than JPEG with lossless option and ROI support. It's widely used for digital cinema (DCI), medical imaging and geospatial data, making it an excellent choice for most image needs.
Will my MOV file be deleted after conversion?▼
No. Your original MOV file is never modified or deleted. Xonvert creates a separate JP2 copy — your source file remains untouched.
What video quality settings should I use?▼
For archival, use High quality. For social media sharing, Medium provides great results at smaller file sizes. Adjust bitrate for fine control.
Does this work on my phone or tablet?▼
Yes. Xonvert works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets all supported.
Can I undo a conversion?▼
Since your original MOV file is never modified, there's nothing to undo. Your source file remains exactly as it was — only a new JP2 copy is created.
What if my MOV file won't convert?▼
Ensure the file isn't corrupted or DRM-protected. Try a different file to verify. If issues persist, the file may use an unsupported codec variant.
