| | JPEG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | JPEG is used for lossy compression of images, although, variations on the standard baseline JPEG allow for lossless compression. |
 | | The JPEG committee has created a wavelet-based standard, JPEG 2000, which is intended to improve upon the original JPEG standard, both on compression ratio and on other features such as scalability and editability. |
 | | 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. |
