JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a...

"Data compression method and file format used to reduce the size of image files for storage or transmission. A compression routine, where some loss of image quality occurs when the image is decompressed for use. The amount of compression can be varied from small to very high. The loss of quality on decompression increases in proportion to the degree of compression applied. If you must save as a JPEG, quality is often best maintained by creating the JPEG using high quality and Progressive format options with a larger number of ‘scans’ – avoid re-saving an image as a JPEG to avoid repeated erosion of image quality."

Answer 6

It means Joint Photographers Group. It is a file format that uses compression to save file size. It is by far the most used digital photo file format. There are many others, such as Tiff, PSD, Gif, Png, and on and on, but JPG will work in any program or website or email. It is also often the format a photo has to be in before many printing services will be able to print the photo. Digital cameras default to JPG. You can set some cameras to shoot in a RAW format, but the photo must then be converted to JPG or another format before it can be used.
