Full Form of JPG :
Joint Photographic Experts Group
JPG Full
Form (or) JPEG Full Form is Joint
Photographic Experts Group. It is a method of compressing
digital images which are produced by digital photography. Since JPG is the same
as JPEG, the full form expands to be Joint Photographic Experts Group, which is
the committee that first created this file type.
JPG is one of the most common
file formats everyone is familiar with. A jpg file can be identified with its
extension ‘.jpg’ or ‘.jpeg’. It is the format used to store digital graphics
and photos. A ‘lossy’ compression is used to save a jpg file. Most often, this
file type is used to store images captured by digital cameras and is widely
used for website graphics and photos.
The advantage of a jpg file is
that it reduces the size without losing the quality. Typically, the file size
is reduced about 5% of actual size. Nevertheless, when a file size is reduced a
lot, the images tend to get ‘muddy’. It has high efficiency to offer small
files as the design is intended to be lossy. This feature makes file transfer faster
over the web.
