JPEG

Up to Glossary

This Definition applies to: Any version.

JPEG (or jpg) is an image format, just like GIF or TIFF. JPEG's compress images for easy file transfer. This format works well on photographs, naturalistic artwork, and images with many colors; not so well on lettering, simple cartoons, or line drawings. You'll know a JPEG file by the extension .jpg at the end of the file. Usually pronounced "jay-peg".
