The JPG file extension is associated with the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file format. JPEG is a lossy image compression algorithm that significantly reduces the file size of the original image at the cost of quality. The higher the compression ratio, the lower the quality of the .jpg file.
JPEG is based on a 24-bit color palette and supports 16.7 million colors. However, it is a lossy compression format, which means it drops compressed information. Compression ratios may range from 10:1 to 20:1, and most graphic application programs (such as Adobe Photoshop) allow you to choose the compression rate.
The JPEG file format is best suited for digital photographs, where the typical compression rate with very low-quality loss is around 10:1.
