JPEG
A widely used lossy-compression image standard and format, developed by a committee jointly formed by ISO/IEC and ITU-T, and suited to continuous-tone images such as photographs.
Core Facts
The core algorithm of JPEG image compression is the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT); images are divided into 8×8 pixel blocks, and after each block undergoes a frequency-domain transform, high-frequency detail information is selectively discarded.
Compared to traditional JPEG at the same visual quality, HEIC file sizes are typically 40–50% smaller, while also supporting 16-bit color depth, HDR, and alpha channels.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The JPEG standard was developed by a committee jointly formed by ISO/IEC and ITU-T, and the first standard was released in 1992.
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
Traditional JPEG uses the DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) algorithm established in 1992.
The core patents of JPEG have long expired, and any platform can implement it for free.
At the same image quality, WebP is typically 25%–35% smaller than JPEG.
For new projects, WebP can be used as the default directly; for pages requiring extreme performance, the picture tag can be used with AVIF as the first choice, WebP as the fallback, and JPEG as the final fallback.
JPEG image compression uses the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to decompose 8×8 pixel blocks into spatial frequency components and then quantizes and discards the high-frequency coefficients.
JPEG XL supports lossless recompression of existing JPEG files, saving an average of about 20% in file size, and the files can be fully restored to the original JPEG.
WebP supports transparency (Alpha channel), a feature that JPEG does not have.
DCT outputs only real values, assumes the input signal is even-symmetric, and therefore has no explicit concept of phase; it is widely used in JPEG image compression.
