JPEG

Short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, JPEG is a color-image graphics compression format. The JPEG standard uses a lossy sacrificed to achieve greater compression. JPEG is also abbreviated as JPG in the file extension used with IBM compatible computers. The image to the right is an example of a JPEG image, which is an example of a captcha.

  • Additional information about file extensions can be found here.
  • If you're looking for a software program to create, modify, or change an image into a JPG or JPEG format see document CH000760.
