What is JPG?
JPG (or JPEG) is a lossy image format released in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. It reduces file size dramatically by discarding information the human eye is less sensitive to, which makes it extremely efficient for photographs and other color-rich images. JPG is the default format for digital cameras, smartphones, and the web, and nearly every operating system and application can open it without any plugins. The trade-off: repeatedly re-saving a JPG causes cumulative quality loss, and the format does not support transparency.
When should I use JPG?
Best for photo-heavy workflows and any scenario where file size matters β messenger and email attachments, social media uploads, blog photos, storing camera output. Almost every everyday photo use case is optimized for JPG. For logos, icons, screenshots where sharp edges or transparency are required, choose PNG or WebP instead.
Strengths
Opens anywhere without additional setup. Most efficient compression available for photographs. Quality adjustable on a 1β100 scale.
Things to Watch
No transparency support, and repeated saves cause cumulative quality loss. Text and line-heavy images tend to show blurring artifacts at the edges.
