How to convert jp2000 to geotiff using GDAL?

I'm trying to convert Sentinel-2 imagery in jp2000 (.jp2) format to geotiff format using gdal_translate. However, it appears .jp2 format is not recognized. What method should I use to convert jp2000 format to geotiff?

$ gdal_translate B02.jp2 B02.tif
ERROR 4: `B02.jp2' not recognised as a supported file format.

GDALOpen failed - 4

Solution

  • If you are on macOS and want JP2000 with GDAL, one option is to use homebrew to install it like this:

    brew install gdal --with-complete

    Then you get this:

    gdalinfo --formats | grep -i jp
