JPEG

JPEG is technically an acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the committee that created the JPEG compression standard for digitized photographic images. However, JPEG is commonly used JPEG in reference to images compressed with the compression algorithm specified in JPEG standards. JPEG images are usually compressed using a lossy compression algorithm, but lossless JPEG compression is also specified.
