👉 JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) computing is an image compression standard designed to reduce the file size of digital images while maintaining acceptable visual quality. It operates through a process called Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), which converts spatial image data into frequency components. The algorithm then quantizes these components, discarding less significant information to achieve compression. This process is reversible, allowing the original image to be reconstructed from the compressed data. JPEG is widely used in digital photography, web images, and multimedia applications due to its balance between compression efficiency and image quality.
