File?

Released in 1992, Joint Photographic Experts Group or JPG offers a file compression that sets it apart. A JPG file, also known as JPEG, is a graphic format preferred for storing digital photos since it offers lossy compression that reduces the size of an image. While this data-trimming technique necessarily lowers an image’s overall resolution, it’s mostly unnoticeable to most people when looking at it casually.

Plus, JPG can support up to 16 million colors. Since it’s compatible with most image-editing programs, JPG files are incredibly accessible and convenient.
