Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Joint Photographic Experts Group

The correct answer is Joint Photographic Experts Group.

• JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)
  • It is a standardized image compression mechanism designed for compressing either full-colour three-band (RGB) or grey-scale one-band images.
  • It is widely accepted in the multimedia and imaging industries.
  • JPEG compression can make a file very small, but it is “lossy,” meaning that image quality is lost when the image is compressed.
  • JPEG can store 24-bit colour images in as many as 16 million colours whereas files in Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) form can only store 256 colours.
