| File Type | JPEG Image File | ||||||
| Category | Raster Image Files | ||||||
| Description | Compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG); commonly used for storing digital photos since the format supports up to 24-bit color; therefore, most digital cameras save images as JPG files by default. JPEG is also a common format for publishing Web graphics since the JPEG compression algorithm significantly reduces the file size of images; however, the lossy compression used by JPEG may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. For more information about JPG files, view the JPEG definition. |
