File Description | JPEG, pronounced as J-Peg, is the most widely used lossy compression mothed for web graphics and digital photos. It was developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) in1992, which was also known as JPEG-1. JPEG supports up to 24-bit color and lossy compression, which is an ideal way to store colorful and good quality of photos with reasonal file size. The JPEG compression ratio is adjustable, which make it well compromise between image quality and file size. However, JPEG commonly perform 10:1 compression with little image quality lost. Many other image file formats are based on JPEG compression. JPEG/EXIF is the most popular image standard used by digital cameras and capture devices.
