| JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)JPEG is an Image Compression Algorithm that is designed for compressing either full-color or grayscale digital images of natural, real-world scenes. It does not work very well on non-realistic images, such as cartoons or line drawings. JPEG does not handle compression of black and white (1 bit per pixel) images or moving pictures. JPEG itself does not describe an Image Format, it only specifies the compression Algorithm. Some Image Formats for exchanging images compressed with the JPEG Algorithm are the wide-spread JFIF and the less popular SPIFF. Type Associations- Topic(s) from which this Topic is derived:
