Java API to convert JPEG to TIFF

Question

I am looking at java APIs to convert JPEG file streams to TIFF files. I looked at the JAI but did not find something similar to what i am looking at.

Can someone point me to a good API which does this ?

Answer 1

ImageMagick has a Java api available

Answer 2

The javax.imageio package has built-in writers for most of the popular image types, including jpg and tiff. Here's Sun's page on imageio.

Answer 3

There's an example here

Answer 4

JIMI is quite easy to use. http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/

Unfortunately Sun transmogriffed it into Java2D (afair) and THAT is not quite that easy to use.

For a quick solution, use JIMI.

Answer 5

@Hardwareguy javax.imageio does not support TIF.

Answer 6

JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) is the best solution. It has a decoder and encoder for TIFF files.

Answer 7

JAVA JAI does support encoding/decoding TIFF. You need to get the image codecs (<--link) and call them like ImageDecoder decoder = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder("tiff", seekableStream, null);
