JPG / JPEG file guide

A compact format for photographs

What it stores

JPEG stores raster photographs with lossy compression. JPG and JPEG are two extensions for the same format.

When to choose it

Choose JPG for photographic images when a receiving app needs a widely supported format. Inspect fine text and edges after reducing quality.

What to check before converting

JPG does not store transparent pixels. A PNG-to-JPG conversion must fill the background. Saving an existing JPG as PNG cannot restore detail already lost in the JPG.
