In addition to the Converter shipping with infiniMap there are numerous other tools to convert images to the JPEG 2000 or the ECW image file format:

• Photoshop® CC by Adobe (http://www.adobe.com)
  Photoshop® now supports JPEG 2000 images as well, so you can save your images in JPEG 2000 from within Photoshop® CC

• j2k by Fnord software (http://www.fnordware.com/j2k/)
  A free compression/decompression library for Photoshop® and After Effects®, both Mac and Windows are supported.

• JasPer by Michael D. Adams (http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~mdadams/jasper/)\\This is a free implementation of a JPEG 2000 compressor/decompressor, source code included. It allows for command line compression of images, there are some graphical front-ends available though (most notable, GeoJasPer at http://www.dimin.net/software/utils.html ).

• LuraWave by LuraTech (http://www.luratech.com)
  A commercial compressor available either as a stand-alone tool or as a Photoshop® plugin.

• JPEG Toolbox V2 by Morgan Multimedia (http://www.morgan-multimedia.com)

• JPEG 2000 / A3D Compressor from Anything 3D (http://www.anything3d.com)

Most of these compression tools will choke on images that are larger than your main memory. Also TIFF images beyond 2GB are a problem for most conversion tools (since the TIFF standard is only a 32bit standard ¹⁾).

For large scale compression we recommend Power Compressor by Hexagon (http://www.hexagongeospatial.com/products/power-portfolio/compression - formerly ER Mapper) or Manifold® System by manifold.net (http://www.manifold.net) for the budget conscious.
