About JPG

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the universal standard for photographic images, using lossy DCT-based compression to achieve 10:1 or higher compression ratios with minimal visible quality loss. First published in 1992, it supports 24-bit color and works across every device, browser, and application. The lossy nature means repeated editing and saving degrades quality—best used as a final delivery format.

    JPEG excels at photographic content and remains the de facto standard for sharing, publishing, and web delivery. With modern encoders delivering excellent quality-to-size ratios, JPEG continues to dominate despite newer alternatives.
