About JPEG (.JPEG)
JPEG is a widely used image file format known for its efficient compression of photographic images without significant loss of quality. It is ideal for storing and sharing digital photos on the web and in digital cameras. The format was created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992, which is where it gets its name. JPEG balances image quality and file size, making it a popular choice for everyday use.
Technical Details
JPEG uses a compression algorithm based on the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), which breaks images into blocks and compresses them by reducing redundant information. The compression ratio can be adjusted, typically ranging from 10:1 to 20:1, allowing flexible trade-offs between image quality and file size. JPEG files typically have the file extension .jpg or .jpeg. The format supports 24-bit color, capable of displaying millions of colors, which is suitable for detailed photographic images.
Additional Information & Use Cases
JPEG files use lossy compression, which means some image data is discarded to reduce file size, but this is often imperceptible to the human eye. The quality of a JPEG image can be adjusted, allowing users to choose between higher quality or smaller file sizes depending on their needs. JPEG does not support transparency or animation, unlike some other image formats. Despite newer formats emerging, JPEG remains one of the most common image formats worldwide.
