JPG and JPEG Images

We often see the extensions .jpeg and .jpg on the pictures, and are often confused about the distinction between them. Before we take a dip into the quick tip differences between jpg and jpeg, there are a few basic things we should know about them.

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is a format created to store digital images and supports the maximum size of 65535 by 65535 pixels. It is one of the most widely used image formats after png and gif. It is supported by all digital cameras, including mobile phones.

What makes it so popular is its ‘lossy’ format. It compresses the image and significantly reduces its size, typically by 50-75%. This reduces the storage area, but the quality of the image is compromised.

This property comes in handy for the web pages. The reduced size of the images results in the reduced-page-size and hence the loading time of the page is reduced.

So, what is the quick tip difference between jpg and jpeg?

JPG and JPEG Images

Basically, there is no difference. They were both developed by the same- Joint Photographic Experts Group. The only difference is that of the old and new versions of MS Windows. The old version of Windows is enabled to take only three characters in an extension file.

Since jpeg has four characters, they had to reduce it to jpg so that it could work for Windows users. Since most of the people nowadays use Windows, so finding jpg format is more common than jpeg. This is the only quick tip difference between jpg and jpeg files.

Though with the advances in its versions, Windows can now support extensions for four characters, and hence jpeg can also be viewed on your PC.

Now you know the quick tip differences between jpg and jpeg.
