About JPEG
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) was standardized as ISO 10918 in 1992 and remains the most widely used image format for photographs worldwide. Its lossy compression is based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and typically achieves compression ratios of 10:1 to 20:1 with barely perceptible quality loss. The algorithm was developed starting in 1986 by a working group led by Hiroshi Yasuda and quickly became the standard for web images, digital photography, and social media platforms. JPG files support 8-bit color channels in RGB color space and embedded EXIF metadata containing camera settings, GPS data, and timestamps. The format does not support transparency or animation and allows only one color space per image – limitations that are rarely relevant for its primary use as a photo format. With repeated compression, quality degrades progressively due to generation loss, making JPG unsuitable for editing and better suited as a final output format. The .jpg extension instead of .jpeg dates back to the 8.3 character limitation of early Windows file systems. JPEG XL was proposed as a successor in 2021 but has so far failed to gain meaningful market acceptance against WebP and AVIF.
