What is a .jls file?

A .jls file is a JPEG-LS. This is an image format — a picture, drawing or graphic.

How to open a .jls file

  • GIMP (free) and IrfanView open a very wide range of image formats, including obsolete ones.
  • XnView MP is the best bet for unusual or legacy image types.
  • Your operating system's built-in viewer may work for mainstream formats.

The registry records this extension against JPEG-LS, so software from that family is the most likely match.

How to convert a .jls file

  • Open it in GIMP or XnView and export as .png (lossless) or .jpg (smaller).

For archivists, developers and the merely curious: these are the PRONOM registry entries for .jls.
