Difference between JPG and JPEG, which is better? Complete Explanation

Difference between JPG and JPEG, which is better? Complete Explanation
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

JPG and JPEG are the most common document formats we encounter. JPG and JPEG are usually used to format an image. Then what is the difference between JPG and JPEG or is it the same?

JPG or JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group which is a type of file format for storing digital images.

This is the most familiar format because it is the most widely used. Many like the JPG and JPEG formats because the file sizes are relatively small without compromising the image quality.

In addition, JPG and JPEG file types are the easiest to access because they can be directly opened on any computer/smartphone without the need for third party assistance.

So what exactly is the difference between JPG and JPEG? Two popular image file extensions to use today.

Basically, JPG and JPEG differ only in the number of characters used. The original file extension for the Joint Photographic Experts Group was jpeg.

However, in the past on certain Windows operating systems, namely MS-DOS 8.3 and FAT-16, the required file extension was three letters. This is what makes the JPEG format simplified again to JPG.

Even so, now newer Windows operating systems can accept more than three characters in the file extension so that the JPEG format can also be used.

Meanwhile, in terms of photo quality, there is no difference. The quality of JPG and JPEG both depend on the size of the pixels of the photo itself.

It can be concluded that there is no significant difference between JPG and JPEG in images and files. Only on the number of letters in the file extension.

JPEG is an image file extension that first appeared which was introduced in 1992 as an ISO standard. At that time many image file formats used JPEG files and also the cameras of that era all had the JPEG format for each portrait. No wonder that at that time the JPEG image format was the most commonly used.

Moreover, the JPEG format has a pretty good advantage in terms of photo quality and color mix. However, the lack of the JPEG format is not good when used for images with sharp colors. This will be seen clearly when viewed from software such as Photoshop or the like.

The colors produced in JPEG images will be a little blurry in the image, this is because the compression method used is lossy compression. Lossy compression is a technique used to reduce file size in the form of images, audio or the like so that after that the quality and size of the file will decrease.

That's a brief explanation of the difference between JPG and JPEG. I hope you are not confused anymore. I hope this information is helpful.
