Convert JPEG to JPG
What is JPEG?
JPEG
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) uses lossy DCT-based compression, optimized for photographs with millions of colors. Supports 24-bit color depth. Quality vs size tradeoff adjustable via compression level. No transparency support. EXIF metadata for camera data. Universal web and camera format. Converting between image formats preserves or re-encodes pixel data.
- JPEG uses lossy compression for efficient image storage
- DCT-based compression removes high-frequency visual data
- Supports 24-bit RGB color (16.7 million colors)
- No transparency support—requires opaque backgrounds
What is JPG?
JPG
JPG uses lossy DCT compression with 8×8 pixel blocks, ideal for photographs with smooth color gradients. Compression ratios range from 10:1 to 20:1 depending on quality settings. Maximum resolution 65,535×65,535 pixels. No transparency support (unlike PNG). Supports EXIF metadata for camera information. Best for photographs; poor for graphics with sharp edges, text, or solid colors due to compression artifacts.
