The JPEG 2000 Multi-layer (JPGM) format is a compound image standard defined in ISO/IEC 15444-6 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is primarily used in document imaging systems to efficiently store scanned pages containing both sharp text and continuous-tone imagery using Mixed Raster Content architecture. While less ubiquitous than PDF for general document exchange, it remains a standard solution for specialized archival systems and poses minimal security risks during viewing.
