The .jpm filename extension belongs to the JPEG 2000 Compound Image File Format (.jpm) as defined in the JPEG 2000 Part 6 (ISO/IEC 15444-6:2013) standard. JPEG 2000 is the name of a wavelet-based image compression method and a family of image file formats, developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) and adopted in a series of international standards (ISO 15444). The JPEG 2000 Part 6 compound image format is specifically intended for document and fax imaging.
Unlike regular JPEG 2000 images (.jp2, .j2k), the .jpm file is a compound, multi-layered JPEG 2000 image. It may contain multiple pages with multiple raster objects in different encodings (JPEG, JPEG 2000, JBIG) on each page, arranged according to a certain layout and composited through the Mixed Raster Content (MRC) model. JPM files are used for 'digital originals,' preserving scanned document copies along with other images/text and embedded XML metadata.
JPM images can be directly opened and viewed using several multi-format image viewers as well as commercial JPEG-2000 implementations (e.g. LuraTech JPEG 2000) and end-user applications based on them.
