About

It was created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group and is based on a lossy compression technique that allows reducing the file size of images without a significant loss in quality. JPEG compression is particularly effective with photographs and realistic images, as it utilizes the properties of human vision to discard data that is not easily noticeable to the eye. The format supports millions of colors and is widely used for storing and transmitting digital images on the internet. It has become the most common format for displaying and sharing photographs, as it strikes a balance between file size and image quality. JPEG files are compatible with most operating systems and can be easily opened and edited using various image editing software. However, it should be noted that repeated editing and saving of JPEG files may result in a decrease in image quality due to the lossy compression.
