The JPEG File Interchange Format is entirely compatible with the standard JPEG interchange format; the only additional requirement is the mandatory presence of the APP0 marker right after the SOI marker.
Note that JPEG interchange format requires (as does JFIF) that all table specifications used in the encoding process be coded in the bitstream prior to their use.
JPEG File Interchange Format Specification The syntax of a JFIF file conforms to the syntax for interchange format defined in Annex B of ISO DIS 10918-1.

 JPEG File Format
The JPEG compression algorithm a lossy method of compression that is most suitable for compressing TrueColor photographs and other continuous tone images.
The JPEG compression algorithm is supported by a number of file formats, including TIFF, but for the purposes of this discussion we need to talk about the JFIF file format.
JPEG 2000, is a enhanced version of the JPEG system, which adds a number of features, including better compression, and an optional lossless compression mode (which doesn't reduce file sizes as much as the lossy mode, but preserves the image exactly).

  JFIF, JPEG File Interchange Format
JFIF is a minimal file format that enables JPEG bitstreams to be exchanged between a wide variety of platforms and applications.
JPEG data in general is stored as a stream of blocks, and each block is identified by a marker value.
From http://www.jpeg.org/jpeg/index.html: "[T]he file format was created originally by Eric Hamilton, the then convenor of JPEG as part of his work at C-Cube Microsystems, and was placed by them into the public domain under the name JFIF (available here in the latest version, 1.02)."

 JPEG File Format
JPEG stores images with lossy compression and it is designed for compressing either full-color or grayscale images of natural, real-world scenes.
Progressive JPEG rearranges the stored image data. When the JPEG file is transmitted across a slow communications link, it allows to decoder to generate a low-quality image very quickly, then gradually improve the displayed quality as more image data are received.
Progressive JPEG files are often slightly larger than non-progressive ones, but the possibility of incremental display is the main reason for using progressive JPEG.

 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.
JPEG can achieve incredible compression ratios, squeezing graphics down to as much as one hundred times smaller than the original file.

 PSPUG Tutorials - GIF vs. JPEG
My choice would be one of the GIF files, the one with antialias for a normal GIF picture and maybe the one without antialias for a transparent GIF (depends a bit on the background, since on a lighter background you can hardly see the jaggies).
GIF format – 5 KB With the JPEG, the gradients are smooth, with the GIF, they are a bit "striped" (just compare the blue background and the left leaf!).
The JPEG is also smaller than the GIF that had to be saved with 256 colours to get the gradients as smooth as possible.

 An introduction to the JPEG file format   (Site not responding. Last check: )
JPEG was designed specifically for use with highly detailed or "photorealistic" images, and is typically applied to rendered images and digitized photographs.
Typical file compression schemes might not be able to achieve even a 20 percent reduction on the same file.
The reason JPEG can achieve this level of compression is because it discards information in the image which it decides is not important to the appearance of the image.

 JPEG File Interchange Format: Summary from the Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats
In fact, the JPEG specification itself, which we describe in terms of compression in Chapter 9, does not itself define a common file interchange format to store and transport JPEG data between computer platforms and operating systems.
JPEG data in general is stored as a stream of blocks, and each block is identified by a marker value.
The other format, TIFF 6.0, also supports JPEG and is discussed in depth in the article on TIFF.

 Optimizing Web Graphics: Compression - webreference.com
JPEG is designed to exploit certain properties of our eyes; namely, that we are more sensitive to slow changes of brightness and color than we are to rapid changes over a short distance.
JPEG compression takes place in Y/UV space and therefore is treated as 24 bit data (8 bit for grey), regardless of the colors in the original image.
Progressive JPEG is now becoming a widely supported format by browsers and if implemented properly gives the effect of the image fading in as opposed to painting from the top down.

 TIFF File Format FAQ
Many image file formats have an image header with fixed fields containing information such as image dimensions, color space specification, etc. The TIFF file format is different in that it allows for a flexible set of information fields.
Where other file formats are often designed to suit a single compression method, TIFF allows for JPEG or JBIG compression, the infamous LZW or the free-as-a-bird deflate compression, amongst many others.
The BigTIFF file format is an ongoing attempt to design a next version of TIFF, specifically targeted at breaking the 4 gigabyte boundary.

 Preparing Graphics for The Web - JPEG File Format
Their goal was to reduce the filesize of natural, photographic-like true-color images as much as possible without affecting the quality of the image as experienced by the human sensory engine.
While most image file formats use an RGB (red, green, blue) value to describe each pixel value, the JPEG format converts this data to luminance (brightness) and chrominance (hue).
If the primary purpose of the application of JPEG compression to an image is to reduce filesize, then we need to first determine the amount of compression to be applied.

When the JPEG standards committee was developing the JPEG standard, they defined the standard for representing the data in terms of its structure in memory, in terms of compression and decompression algorithms; but they got involved in a huge standards turf war over the actual JPEG file format.
However JFIF has become the de facto JPEG file format, even though there is no formal specification for it agreed upon by the JPEG standards committee.
This has caused problems in the last few years, since the introduction of progressive JPEG images (progressive images allow a rough quality version of the image to appear, which slowly refines as more of the image data is read.

 JPEG image compression FAQ, part 1/2
JPEG is *not* going to displace GIF entirely; for some types of images, GIF is superior in image quality, file size, or both.
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.
The JPEG committee was prevented from defining a file format by turf wars within the international standards organizations.

 Honeynet Project Scan of the Month - Scan 24 (October 2002)
The FAT entries for this file, which contain the references to the clusters that hold the file data, were destroyed, so even if we undelete the file by replacing the 0xa5 character in the root directory entry with something else, we would still be unable to view the contents of the file.
The reason is that in the last cluster of a file there are some unused bytes, unless the file size is multiple of 512 (because the size of a cluster is 512 bytes.) So, we the brute-force method we are saving to disk these unused bytes.
Also, running the "file" command on the same file tells us that schedu~1.exe is a ZIP file, but as soon as we try to unzip it we find out that the file appears to be corrupted.

 What is the JPEG graphics file format? - Knowledge Base
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the original name of the committee that wrote the standard.
JPEG uses a lossy compression method, meaning that the decompressed image isn't quite the same as the one you started with.
JPEG was developed for two reasons: it makes image files smaller and it stores 24-bit per pixel color data (full color) instead of 8-bit per pixel data.
