Questions tagged [jpeg]

JPEG is a lossy-compression method for a digital image. The images can end up in many JPEG image containers (JPEG, JPG, JIF, JPE, JFI, JFIF) depending on the parameters surrounding the compression of the image data. JPEG is actually an acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the group that created the compression standard for JPEG.
