Glossary Term "JPEG"

JPEG

Related Terms GIF, TIFF, BMP
Description An cronym of Joint Photographic Expert Group, the organization that developed the JPEG file format. JPEG is a type of graphics file that uses compression to reduce file size (and therefore, transmission times). JPEG files will not give a perfect reproduction of the source file since the compression mechanism causes loss of resolution in some areas of the image - therefore it isn't common in medical applications. However JPEG files are a good choice for web based photographic graphics that need to be small.
