JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
1) JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is an ISO/IEC
group of experts that develops and maintains standards for a suite of compression algorithms for
computer image files.
2) JPEG (usually pronounced JAY-pehg) is also a term for any graphic image file produced by
using a JPEG standard. A JPEG file is created by choosing from a range of compression
qualities (actually, from one of a suite of compression algorithms). When you
create a JPEG or convert an image from another format to a JPEG, you are asked to specify the
quality of image you want. Since the highest quality results in the largest file, you can make a
trade-off between image quality and file size. Formally, the JPEG file format is specified in ISO
standard 10918. The JPEG scheme includes 29 distinct coding processes although a JPEG implementor
may not use them all.
Together with the Graphic Interchange Format (GIF)
and Portable Network Graphics (PNG) file
formats, the JPEG is one of the image file formats supported on the World Wide Web, usually with
the file suffix of ".jpg". You can create a progressive JPEG that
is similar to an interlaced
GIF.
