Part 6 of JPEG 2000 defines the JPM file format for document imaging, which uses the Mixed Raster Content (MRC) model of ISO/IEC 16485. JPM is an extension of the JP2 file format defined in Part 1: it uses the same architecture and many of the same boxes defined in Part 1 (for JP2) and Part 2 (for JPX).

JPM can be used to store multi-page documents with many objects per page. Although it is a member of the JPEG 2000 family, it supports the use of many other coding or compression technologies as well. For example, JBIG2 could be used for regions of text, and JPEG could be used as an alternative to JPEG 2000 for photographic images.

Part 6 became an International Standard (ISO/IEC 15444-6) in April 2003.

It is related to the ITU-T Recommendation for Mixed Raster Content (T.44).
