What is a JPEG file?

Joint Photographic Experts Group developed a digital image standard with the name formed from their acronym JPEG in 1992. Contrary to frequent misconception, there is no difference between JPG and JPEG format except in their name. JPEG is even now still the most common format used for storing, sharing, transferring, viewing, modifying, etc. digital images across the world. Also, JPEG is the default image format on social media, web, and pretty much on every device; there is an app that can successfully open, edit, or create a JPEG file. JPEG has lossy compression based on DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) that allows variable compression, which can reduce the size of an image up to ten times without noticeable difference in quality. However, opening, editing, saving an image in JPEG format is going to affect the image quality, which is going to degrade after each modification.

The Moving Picture Experts Group introduced HEIC format in 2015. The primary purpose of HEIC files is as their name implies High-Efficiency Image Format/Container to save space with storing images and image sequences in smaller file sizes. HEIC format has an advanced compression algorithm that provides up to 50% smaller image size while maintaining image quality. Also, HEIC images have a 16-bit tonal range that ensures the vibrant color palette. In comparison to other digital image formats, HEIC has a real perspective to become the most popular image format. However, HEIC files are not compatible with most operating systems natively, which creates obstacles on its way to popularity. Some of the operating systems that support HEIC format are Apple iOS 11 and later, Mac High Sierra and later, Google’s Android P, etc.
