How do I convert a JP2 file to SCR with LetsConvert?

Upload your .jp2 or drag it onto the page, select SCR as the target, and click Convert. The tool resizes the JPEG 2000 image to 256×192, quantizes the visible area to the ZX Spectrum color set, and generates the raw screen binary with its attribute block. Press Download to save the .scr file.

Why would I convert JP2 to SCR?

JP2 is a wavelet-compressed archival format with high bit depth and optional alpha, while SCR is the fixed 256×192 bitmap used by ZX Spectrum emulators and 8-bit hardware. Converting a JP2 lets you show a photo, sprite, or map on retro Spectrum software. Because SCR is uncompressed, a converted screen is exactly 6,912 bytes, which loads fast on emulated tape or disk systems.

What happens to JP2 color profiles, transparency, and resolution when converting to SCR?

JP2's ICC profile and alpha channel are discarded; transparency is flattened to the paper color, and high bit-depth samples are tone-mapped to the Spectrum's 15-color palette. The image is downsampled to 256×192 and each 8×8 attribute block receives one ink and one paper color, so heavily detailed areas may show attribute clash. No layers, DPI, or metadata are carried into SCR.

JP2 to SCR: turn JPEG 2000 wavelet images into ZX Spectrum 256×192 screens, remapping to 8×8 color attributes while preserving luminance and edge detail.
