This is the core of the conversion. The software takes the "chunky" pixel data (where the color index is stored in a byte) and scatters the bits across separate "bitplanes."

: A developer-focused Rust library that handles batch JPG to C2P conversions. 2. For Stage Lighting Design (Capture)

This guide explores what a C2P file is, why you might need to convert a JPG into one, and the methods used to achieve it.

Few websites offer JPG to C2P directly, but some specialized conversion services (like Convertio or Zamzar) have started adding C2P support.

In the context of lighting visualization software (like Capture 2024 or older versions like Capture Polar), C2P files are project data files rather than simple images. MA Lighting Forum
