JPEG Files Work Best for Photographic Images Print this page Save this page
JPEG files are the standard, lossy compression format designed for digital photographic images. It is the optimal file format for storing photographic images with full color or gray scales and continuous variations in color images. JPEG can be read by virtually any browser or image reader. It is the best format when file size is a concern. However, JPEG is not the best choice for images with lettering, cartoons, line art, drawings, or black and white images as it does a poor job with uniform color and sharp edges. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
