JPEG (file format)

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a widely used digital image file format designed for compressing full-color photographs and detailed images. It reduces file size by removing unnecessary or less noticeable information, allowing images to be stored and transmitted more efficiently without significantly sacrificing visual quality. This compression makes JPEG ideal for sharing and displaying photographs on the internet and digital devices. JPEG files typically have the ".jpg" or ".jpeg" extension and can be adjusted to balance image quality and file size based on user needs.
