What is a .jpf file?
A .jpf file is a JPEG-2000 JPX image. Its registered MIME type is image/jpx, which places it in the image family of formats.
JPX stands for JPEG-2000 eXtended.
JPF is a binary format: the contents are not readable text, so opening it in a text editor shows scrambled characters.
The same format is also saved with the extension .jpx.
