JPEG

JPEG is a common method for compressing digital images, reducing file size while maintaining visual quality. It works by analyzing the image, identifying areas with similar colors and details, then discarding some data that the human eye is less likely to notice. This process allows images to be stored and shared more efficiently without significant loss of quality, especially for photographs. JPEG compression is adjustable, balancing image quality and file size. It's widely used for photos on the internet, cameras, and mobile devices due to its effectiveness in handling complex images with many colors.
