JPEG is a file format that compresses images to make them smaller and easier to store or share, with the ability to adjust how much quality you're willing to sacrifice for smaller file sizes. It matters because it's widely used for photographs and images on the internet, allowing people to balance image quality against practical storage and transmission needs.

JPEG ( , short for Joint Photographic Experts Group and sometimes retroactively referred to as JPEG 1) is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable trade off between storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with a loss in image quality that, while perceptible, is widely agreed upon to be acceptable. Since its introduction in 1992, JPEG has been the most widely used image compression standard in the world, and the most widely used digital image format, with several billion JPEG images produced every day as of 2015.
