  JPEG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JPEG is used for lossy compression of images, although, variations on the standard baseline JPEG allow for lossless compression.
JPEG itself specifies only how an image is transformed into a stream of bytes, but not how those bytes are encapsulated in any particular storage medium.
The JPEG committee has as one of its explicit goals that their standards (in particular their baseline methods) be implementable without payment of license fees, and they have secured appropriate license rights for their upcoming JPEG 2000 standard from over 20 large organizations.

 GRAPHICS: JPEG graphics
JPEG images have generated tremendous interest among photographers, artists, graphic designers, medical imaging specialists, art historians, and other groups for whom image quality is paramount and where color fidelity cannot be compromised by dithering a graphic to 8-bit color.
JPEG compression uses a sophisticated mathematical technique called a discrete cosine transformation to produce a sliding scale of graphics compression.
This is possible because the JPEG algorithm discards "unnecessary" data as it compresses the image, and it is thus called a "lossy" compression technique.

JPEG is *not* going to displace GIF entirely; for some types of images, GIF is superior in image quality, file size, or both.
JPEG has a hard time with very sharp edges: a row of pure-fl pixels adjacent to a row of pure-white pixels, for example.
When a JPEG file is made from full-color photographic data, using a quality setting just high enough to prevent visible loss, the JPEG will typically be a factor of four or five smaller than a GIF file made from the same data.

 JPEG JFIF
JPEG JFIF, which is what people generally mean when they refer to "JPEG", is a file format created by the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) for the transport of single JPEG-compressed images.
Progressive JPEG is a means of reordering the information so that, after only a small part has been downloaded, a hazy view of the entire image is presented rather than a crisp view of just a small part.
Although the "baseline" variety of JPEG is believed patent-free, there are many patents associated with some optional features of JPEG, namely arithmetic coding and hierarchical storage.

 Definition of JPEG
Instead, remember that a JPEG is a compressed image file format.
JPEG images are not limited to a certain amount of color, like GIF images are.
However, JPEG is a "lossy" format, which means some quality is lost when the image is compressed.

 Photo.net - Jpeg Compression by Gordon Richardson
The Jpeg organisation is an umbrella body that coordinates formats for encoding and compression of images.
Jpeg compression goes one step further, by organising regularities in the visual perception of an image and using lossy compression to reduce the file size of the image.
Gordon Richardson, March 07, 2004; 12:43 A.M. The combination of editing and Jpeg recompression produces some additional artefacts, and a useful test (in a reversible way) was suggested by John P Sheehy.

 fractalus - PNG, JPEG, and Fractals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Deciding between GIF and JPEG (before PNG hit the scene) was easy: any 24-bit color depth (16.7 million colors) photographic-style image became a JPEG, while images with less color, transparent areas, or animation were GIFs; however, PNG complicates things because it offers some features common to both formats, as well as a few unique features.
It's common for JPEG's lossy algorithms to achieve 10:1 compression (the uncompressed file is ten times the size of the compressed file) without substantial loss in image quality.
The JPEG is slightly bigger than the 256-color image, but it's probably worth it for the anti-aliasing.

JPEG compresses graphics of photographic color depth better than competing file formats like GIF, and it retains a high degree of color fidelity.
You can choose how much to compress a JPEG file, but since it is a lossy format, the smaller you compress the file, the more color information will be lost.
JPEG files can be viewed by a variety of downloadable software on both the PC and Mac.
