Mothod of compressing and storing photographic image files. JPEG was designed to discard information the eye cannot normally see and uses compression technology that breaks an image into discrete blocks of pixels, which are then divided in half until a compression ratio from 10:1 to 100:1 is achieved. The greater the compression ratio that's produced, the greater the loss of image quality and sharpness. Unlike other compression schemes, JPEG is a "lossy" method. By comparison, the LZW compression method used in file formats such as TIFF is lossless--meaning that no data is discarded during compression.

Joint Photographic Experts Group is a graphic file format that has a sophisticated technique for compressing full-color bit mapped graphics, such as photographs.

Joint Photographic Experts Group, this is a widely used compressed image format. The files can also use the file ending in .jpg rather than .jpeg

The defacto standard for image compression in digital imaging device. There are several versions of JPEG, some proprietary. JPEG, also known as JFIF takes areas of 8 x 8 pixels and compresses the information to its lowest common value. This is one of the reasons you can get as many images in to the digital cameras. The results in decompression of the files can cause "blockiness", the "jaggies", or "pixelization" in some digital images. The higher the compression ratio the more the pixelization or blockiness occurs. The greater the pixel count the less pixelization may occur.

jpg An image format optimized for "natural" images developed by the oint hotographic xperts roup, JPEGs are probably second only to GIFs in level of acceptance. JPEGs manage to capture wonderfully detailed images in millions of colors in minimal space by taking advantage of limitations with human vision, and performing little lossy compressions. This means that each time a JPEG is saved, it will lose a little more quality, although each individual loss will be nearly invisible to the human eye. If care is not taken, however, a JPEG image can become worse looking than a color-limited GIF. JPEGs are also not good at storing cartoon-like images or line drawings; for these cases either GIFs or PNGs or X-bitmaps are better choices. JPEGs also cannot contain a transparent color. If a transparent color is needed, GIFs, PNGs, and X-bitmaps are better choices. JPEG has nothing to do with either JBIG or MPEG in spite of the similarity of names.

Joint Photographic Experts Group; compressed graphics images, often used on Web pages.

Joint Photographic Experts Group. The international committee that created the standard for compressing still images.

(Joint Photographic Experts Group) An internationally recognized organization responsible for compression standards for digitized still images; the encoded format defined by this organization is among the most common formats for compressed digital still images used on the Web (the other being GIF). It incorporates a variable compression scheme that allows users to select varying degrees of image integrity vs. file size.

Joint Photographic Experts Group, the informal name for the group that defined the image-encoding standard that bears their name. JPEG (the standard, which is also known as ISO/IEC 10918-1) is capable of compressing photographic (``continuous-tone'') images quite highly with little or no visible degradation of quality--that is, without visible artifacts or loss of detail. JPEG itself is not a file format, however; see JFIF, JNG, and SPIFF.

(Joint Photographic Expert Group) A lossy image file format best suited for onscreen photos. Takes advantage of limitations in the human vision system to achieve high rates of compression that can be controlled by the user. JPEG files use ".jpeg" or ".jpg" extensions.

(Joint Photographic Experts Group) This group defined a format for encoding photographs that uses fewer bytes than the pixel-by-pixel approaches of GIF and PNG, without too much visible degradation in quality. The format (JFIF) is casually referred to as JPEG. About JPEG pointers from W3C

a bitmap file format (usually .jpg) for compressing and displaying images on the web

Joint Photographic Experts Group. A joint venture of the CCITT and ISO that has developed a standard for compressing grayscale or color still images. Actually, the standard defines a number of methods for compressing images. Several of these are lossy methods based on the Discrete Cosine Transform ( DCT), but one method is lossless and is based on a predictive coding technique.

A format for storing high-quality color and grayscale photographs in bitmap form. JPEG files are most effective for photographic images or images with lots of subtle color and tones.

A graphic compression format used for images on the Internet. Typically, photographs or other web images that contain hundreds or thousands of colors are in the jpeg format. Images can be saved with the extension jpg or jpeg.

Joint Photographic Expert Group. A file format using a compression technique to reduce the size of a graphics file by as much as 96 percent. JPEG is the preferred file format to use if you want to put a photograph on a Web page.

Stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. Along with GIFs, the JPEG file format is one of the main graphic formats displayed on the web. JPEGs use a compression method that sacrifices image information to reduce the file size called lossy compression. This means that every time you save an image as a JPEG, some of the original image data will be lost. JPEGs store images in 24-bit color (GIFs only use 8 bits or less) allowing you to save millions of colors. Consequently, JPEGs are better suited for photographs and images with fine gradations of tone and color.

A graphics file that is favored for displaying high quality photographs on Web pages.

Stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG uses compression technique for color images and therefore some details are lost in the compression yet giving relatively good quality. It is widely used on the Internet and other digital applications.

Refers to an image file format popular for delivery over the Web because of its relatively high quality and low file size. Before uploading JPEGs to the Web, users can determine the amount of compression assigned to them-usually on a scale from 1 to 10. Recommended file type for photographic images.

An acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group, a JPEG is the most commonly used type of digital image format. By eliminating very subtle color distinctions that the human eye usually cannot detect, JPEG images are compressed so that they can save faster and use less space. Because JPEG format actually alters an image, it's compression is said to be "lossy," meaning that a certain amount of data is lost every time a JPEG is edited, saved, and compressed again.

Joint Photographic Experts Group. Image compression standard, optimised for full-colour (millions of colours) digital images. The user can choose the amount of compression, but the higher the compression rate, the less quality the image has. Almost every full-colour photograph you see on the web is a JPEG file. Alternatively, GIFs are used to display line-art images (up to 256 colours).

JPG - Short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, and pronounced jay-peg. JPEG is a lossy compression technique for color images. Although it can reduce files sizes to about 5% of their normal size, some detail is lost in the compression. - Kilobytes; 1,034 bytes. (See byte)

Joint Photographic Experts Group or JPEG is a lossy compression format used by images on the Web. JPEG format is generally used for photographs.

Stands for: Joint Photographic Expert Group. This is a file format using a compression technique to reduce the size of graphic files used on Web pages.

A standard for compressing image data developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, hence the name JPEG. It is referred to as a lossy format, which means some quality is lost in achieving JPEG's high compression rates. Usually, if a high-quality, low-compression JPEG setting is chosen on a digital camera, the loss of quality is not detectable to the eye.

This is the Joint Photographic Experts Group which is a group of experts from the ITU-T and ISO who have developed as advanced data compression standard for compressing images (color or B/W) or still frame video. The resulting standard is ITU-T T.81. There is also a new pending JPEG 2000 compression method.

Short for Joint Photographic Experts Group. An open file format for saving raster (pixel based images) which may be shared across multiple operating systems. The file format supports different levels of compress which are lossy.

This is the standard for Still Picture Compression and was defined to enable transmission of single images over primarily computer networks. Unlike the other standards reported here, this standard has an optional loss less mode. For most applications decompression time is not an issue, unlike for Video Conferencing. Therefore most decompression is done in software by PC's. This standard has facilitated image exchange over the Internet. Also unlike the other standards, because of the lack of temporal compression, this algorithm is the most symmetric - i.e. the complexity of the encoder is most similar to the complexity of the decoder.

JPEG supports 8-bit grayscale and color depths up to 32-bit CMYK. A type of image file that is best used for displaying photographic images on websites.: In printer lingo, "M" means "One Thousand". So if you want 5,000 finished copies, ask for 5M.

Joint Photographic Experts Group. The name of the committee that developed the standard 24-bit image compression algorithm, designed for use with full-color or gray-scale photorealistic images. JPEG is commonly used to refer to both the compression algorithm and its standard file format.

Together with the GIF file format, JPEG is an image file type commonly used on the web. A JPEG image is a bitmap, and usually has the file suffix ‘.jpg' or “.jpeg.” When creating a JPEG image, it is possible to configure the level of compression to use. As the lowest compression (i.e. the highest quality) results in the largest file, there is a trade-off between image quality and file size.

"Joint Photographic Experts Group" JPEG is a common image file format, particularly useful in efficient storage of pictures for delivery on web pages. Built into the JPEG file format is a compression scheme that maintains an inverse relationship between image quality and file size. What this means is that the content creator has the option of delivering high quality images that will take a virtual eternity to download, delivering compact files that contain little or no intelligible content, or anything in between. A graphic file format developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG images have better picture quality than GIFs, but at the expense of larger file sizes. JPEG files have the extension .jpg.

pronounced "Jay-Peg" JPEG or Joint Photographic Experts Group, is a common format for image files. JPEG file format is best used for photographs and images containing many colors and shading.

Many of the images on the Web are now in JPEG format. The advantage of JPEG is that it uses compression to make graphics files smaller (which means you spend less time waiting for them to load) but there is some image quality lost to the compression. If you see a file something like “filename.jpg”, this is a JPEG.

JPEG is a compression algorithm and a file saving option. However, the algorithm may lead to image data loss so we do not recommend you do this to your art. We recommend you use it only with a mega-image, when disk space is a severe issue.

Joint Photographic Experts' Group. Is a standard for photographic image compression. JPEG files on the Web have the extension .jpeg or .jpg. See also: GIF.

Joint Photographic Experts Group: supported by the ISO, the JPEG committee proposes an international standard primarily directed at continuous-tone, still-image compression. Uses DCT (Discrete Cosine Transfer) algorithm to shrink the amount of data necessary to represent digital images anywhere from 2:1 to 30:1, depending on image type. JPEG compression works by filtering out an image's high-frequency information to reduce the volume of data and then compressing the resulting data with a compression algorithm. Low-frequency information does more to define the characteristics of an image, so losing some high frequency information doesn't necessarily affect the image quality.

the name of the Joint Photographic Experts Group and the standard they developed (for ISO/CCITT) to compress images in one of several modes. Most often the lossy mode is used, which makes use of the Discrete Cosine Transform, to achieve variable degrees of compression, depending on user selection of desired quality. Very good quality images are often available even with 10:1 compression.

This is a type of file that retains a higher degree of color. Uncompressed JPEG can be used for high-quality printing for postcards and other forms of direct mail.

A Jpeg file is a way of storing high-quality photographics on the Internet.

Joint Photographics Experts Group A jpeg/jpg is one of the standard image formats used on the Internet. It uses "lossy" compression which often leaves artefacts in the image. Its advantage is that jpeg files are often very small and can be transferred quickly over modems. Short for Kilo or Kilobyte Most people think that kilo means 1000. But in binary systems, a kilo is 1024, (2 to the 10th power). A kilobyte is therefore 1024 bytes of information. In computers a kilobyte is often shortened to K or Kb.

Joint Photographic Experts Group The file extensions .JPG .JIF and .JPEG all distinguish a file as a picture stored in JPEG format. JPEG's use a method of compression which greatly reduces the file size by losing some of the file information, but retain a surprisingly high picture quality.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)is a type of image file especially suited to photographic content

Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) - This is a method of storing graphic images. It was specifically made for storing more than 256-color images. It compresses pictures much better than the GIF way (GIF is meant to store graphics of 256 colors or less). You can also set the amount of compression you would like for the graphic; however, the higher the compression the less quality the picture has. On the down side, even at 100% quality (or 0% compression) the graphic is not perfect. JPEG files use the extension ".jpg."

Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG or JPG). An image compression format used for storing color photographs and images.

JPEG is a file format used to compress images. When JPEG is use, files get a .jpg or .jpeg filename extension (i.e. lingo.jpg). JPEG is the name of the committee that designed the image compression algorithm known now as JPEG.

A format for images on the web. JPEG are compressed representations of a (typically) photo like image. When webmasters create JPEG files, that can choose the amount of compression to use on them. The higher the compression the smaller the file size and the quicker it will appear in the viewers browser. But the flip side is that the quality will not be so good. conversely, the lower the compression, the better the quality of the image, but the longer it will take to load into the viewer's browser.

(Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed format that enables the user to store high-quality images in relatively small files. Similar to the GIF format, but higher in quality, the JPEG format is useful for information-rich images such as scanned photographs. Almost every full-color photograph on the Web is a jpeg.

A popular electronic image format for compressing photographic images. When a file is saved as a JPEG it takes the following format - "filename.jpg"

A compressed file format widely used today in digital cameras, computer applications, email and web pages. Named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group who devised it. The JPEG format compresses images but sacrifices image detail (lossy compression)

Joint Photographic Experts Group. Image file format used extensively on the Web. JPEG uses lossy compression (quality degrades) to reduce image file sizes allowing them to download quickly on a webpage. Best suited to images that contain colour variation and gradients, like photographs. Not suitable for flat areas of colour. See: GIF, PNG.

Like the GIF file format, JPEG is another image format in wide use across the Internet in Web pages. The JPEG format differs from the GIF format in that you can generally achieve higher compression ratios than what can be achieved with GIFs, but with a loss in quality. JPEG also supports 24- bit color images.

Joint Photographic Experts Group - A colour image graphics compression format. In the JPEG image compression sysyem, some data is sacrificed to achieve high rates of compression. Ratios of 100-1 or higher are possible, which means that a 100 megabyte (MB) graphics file could potentially be reduced to 1MB in length . Ratios more than 10-1 or 20-1, however, begin to show noticeable image degradation.

Joint Photographic Experts Group Estandar for compression, decodification and tranmisión of images K-k

Industry standard for compressing images. This format provides lossy compression (you lose sharpness from the original) by dividing the image into tiny pixel blocks, which are halved over and over until an adequate compression ratio is achieved.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the most common file compression method used in digital photography. JPEG uses lossy compression that results in the loss of image data when the image is saved.  Saving a JPEG image with high compression can give artifacts on the image.

Pronounced "jay-peg" and stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is a lossy compression technique for color images - when a JPEG is compressed, some of the detail is lost. On a web site, JPEG images may take longer to download than GIF images.

A technique for compressing full-colour bit-mapped graphics JPEG Compression. A file compression standard established by the Joint Photographic Experts Group that uses a combination of DCT and Huffman encoding to compress images. JPEG is a "lossy" compression algorithm, meaning that it slightly degrades image quality.

An image compression standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG has become a standard image compression method allowing for compression ratios of approximately 10:1 before differences can be seen.

Joint Photographic Experts Group. An image format that drastically reduces image size, at the expense of throwing out information. Most of the time, the loss of information is not noticeable. When saving an image, you can set the degree of compression you would like, at the expense of image quality. Usually, you can achieve 3:1 compression without noticing much. JPEG uses an 8x8 grid and does a discrete cosine transformation on the image. The result when compression is high and quality is low is a tiling patter and visible artifacts at high-contrast boundaries, particularly noticeable in skies.

Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is a standards committee that designed an image compression format. The compression format they designed is known as a lossy compression, in that it deletes information from an image that it considers unnecessary. JPEG files can range from small amounts of lossless compression to large amounts of lossy compression. This is a common standard on the WWW, but the data loss generated in its compression make it undesirable for printing purposes.

Joint Photographic Experts Group (also abbreviated jpg) and pronounced jay-peg. JPEG is compression technique for colour images and photographs that balances compression against loss of detail in the image. The greater the compression, the more information is lost (this is called Lossy compression).

(Joint Photographic Experts Group) A graphics file format used to display high-resolution color graphics on the World Wide Web. JPEG graphics apply a user-specified compression scheme that can significantly reduce the large file sizes usually associated with photo-realistic color graphics. A higher level of compression results in lower quality, whereas a lower level of compression results in higher quality.

A Joint Photographic Experts Group, or JPEG is most often used as a format for image files. The JPEG format is used instead of the GIF format because it's better for photographic images.

A lossy graphics compression scheme developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is most efficient at compressing images with gradations in tone and no sharp edge contrasts, such as photographs.

JPEG compresses files by discarding color information that the human eye cannot perceive. This format significantly reduces the file size, but image quality deteriorates as the compression rate increases. Once the data is saved, the compression cannot be reversed. Top of this page

A common format developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group for compressing image files in RGB mode, using which file sizes of images can be reduced by up to 95 percent. Though it involves a loss of image information, the degree of compression can be selected so that the losses remain within acceptable limits. JPEG requires no license and is internationally standardized (ISO 10918). It uses the “Discrete Cosine Transformation” (DCT) method, where image sections of 64 pixels each are processed. A new compression method, known as JPEG 2000, is currently being developed, which uses what are known as “wavelets” and is said to be able to compress images by 20 percent more than JPEG with better image quality. JPEG 2000 will support non-lossy compression, as well as other color modes (such as CMYK) and color management.

Joint Photographic Experts Group (file.jpeg) See: JPG

Abbreviation for joint photographers expert group. International standard for compressing still photography.

Joint Photographic Experts Group. A compressed file, usually of a photograph, that reduces the amount of data needed to display a full-color bitmap. Usually results in loss of quality. JPEG images allow for more colors than GIF images and are usually smaller in size. Also used for web pages.

These letters are an acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is an image file format in which the file size is reduced by compression. All JPEG image files come with the extension jpg.

Joint Photographic Experts Group. Refers to an international standard for compressing still images. This standard supplies the algorithm for image compression. The version of JPEG supplied with QuickTime complies with the baseline International Standards Organization (ISO) standard bitstream, version 9R9. This algorithm is best suited for use with natural images.

Joint Photograhic Experts Group - a common image format. Art and photographic pictures are usually encoded as JPEG files.

JPEGs, pronounced "jay peg," are one of the popular file formats for graphic images on the Internet (along with GIFs). JPEG images can be viewed by browsers and also are recognized by many other applications such as Microsoft Word.

Joint Photographic Expert Group (Still image compression standard)

Joint Photographic Experts Group has defined a compression-decompression standard for colour and greyscale image applications.

Scanners. An image compression/decompression standard that divides the image area into cells to condense information based on content analysis.

Joint Photographic Experts Group. A group that has defined a compression scheme that reduces the size of image files by up to 20 times at the cost of slightly reduced image quality.

Joint Photographic Experts Group’, JPEG is a lossy image-compression format which greatly reduces the size of the image file. It is best suited to photographic-type images.

The JPEG or JPG is a format for compressing images, and is widely accepted as one of the most effective ways of compressing images for the Internet. Images need to be compressed or website pages would take an aeon to load, and the jpg allows for compression without (hopefully) destroying the effect. Where an image has been too greatly compressed - it is common to see 'jpegging' - or data destruction in some of the pixels, and may also appear as blurring.

A common format for image files, particularly photographic images. It is pronounced j - peg.

(Joint Photographic Experts Group) - A method of storing graphic images. It was specifically made for storing images with more than 256 colors in a small file size. JPEG files use lossy compression. You can also set the amount of compression you would like for the graphic; however, the higher the compression the less quality the graphic has. On the down side, even at 100% quality (or 0% compression) the graphic is not perfect, already losing some detail (thus the "lossy" compression). JPEG files use the extension ".jpg."

(Joint Photographic Experts Group) A image compression format designed for the Internet. Uses lossy compression, meaning that the quality of the image can be lowered.

n. 1. Acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group. An ISO/ITU standard for storing images in compressed form using a discrete cosine transform. JPEG trades off compression against loss; it can achieve a compression ratio of 100:1 with significant loss and possibly 20:1 with little noticeable loss. 2. A graphic stored as a file in the JPEG format.

Pronounced "jay-peg," JPEG is an ISO/ITU standard for compressing still images. Using discrete cosine transform, it provides lossy compression (you lose some data from the original image) with ratios up to 100:1 and higher. It depends on the image, but ratios of 10:1 to 20:1 may provide little noticeable loss. The more the loss can be tolerated, the more the image can be compressed. Compression is achieved by dividing the picture into tiny pixel blocks, which are halved over and over until the appropriate ratio is achieved. JPEG is implemented in software and hardware, with the latter providing sufficient speed for real-time, on-the-fly compression.

JPEG is a commonly used file format for compressing photographic images for delivery over the web.

A standard for web graphics. JPEG format is preferred to the GIF format for photographic image as opposed to line art or simple logo art. The file extension is .jpg

In computing, JPEG (pronounced JAY-peg; IPA: ) is a commonly used standard method of compression for photographic images. The name JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the name of the committee who created the standard. The group was organized in 1986, issuing a standard in 1992 which was approved in 1994 as ISO 10918-1.
