JPG

JPG was developed by an organization called the “Joint Photographic Experts Group” (JPEG), which was formed in 1986. One of its creators was Joan Laverne Mitchell, a computer scientist born on May 24, 1947; she was also a pioneer in data compression and a researcher at IBM.

The format was first introduced in 1990. Because MS-DOS Windows limited file extensions to just three characters, the name JPEG was shortened to JPG.

Size of JPG can be compress by using compress JPG tools to have smallest size from original size, does not alter the colors of the original image.
