JPEG refers to the format of compressing digital images that saves storage space. This was formed in 1986 and got approved in 1992.
Characteristics
JPEG works by reducing the colour of the image JPEG eliminates those data which cannot be noticed by the people JPEG is considered to be most suitable method to compress the file
How is space saved using JPEG?
When the image is saved in JPEG format, the original image size reduces. JPEG compresses only 10% of the image size with a small loss in the quality.
When should JPEG be used?
JPEG is best for images as the details of the image hides the compression. JPEG finds difficulty with edges and curves.
Advantages
The image occupies less space Images are saved in high resolution feature Users can adjust the compression according to their need It is universally accepted format JPEG File can be easily shared
Disadvantages
Quality of image gets reduce JPEG is not for sharp edges and curves images or text Layered images are not supported by the JPEG formatEverytime you save a particular image in JPEG format, the quality of image reduces
Parts
JPEG is divided into separate parts such as JPEG-ISO/IEC 10918-4, JPEG-ISO/IEC 10918-1, JPEG-ISO/IEC 10918-2 and so on.
