Open JPG files

A JPG file contains bitmap image data in JPEG format. This format is produced by most digital cameras and is the most widely used format for pictures on the Internet. jpg files are much smaller than comparable image formats. This is achieved through the use of lossy compression. As the compression rate increases, these losses become visible and are noticeable by image noise and blocks in the image. With low compression, also referred to as high quality, these losses are barely noticeable despite a significantly smaller file size. jpg files can not contain transparency information. They are also not suitable for further image processing, since the losses of image information when repeatedly storing an image add up. This means that even when using a quality of 100% and thus the least compression, the noise in the image increases with each saving. The JPEG format is not for line art and rasterized images, e.g. Newspaper pictures suitable. Here the losses due to the compression immediately become apparent. jpg files can also contain so-called metadata. These are usually stored by digital cameras. You can include a lot of information about the picture. From the camera's data, exposure time and aperture, to the GPS location information of the location where the photo was taken. JPEG data is also included in files with jpeg and jpe extensions. If the extension of the file is not recognized directly, it can also be changed to one of the others. Each current operating system today contains an image viewer that can display JPG files. There is also a large number of free or commercial programs.

In order to open a file with JPG extension one of the following programs must be installed on user’s system. If a problem with opening JPG file occurred, it is highly possible that none of the listed programs is present on user’s system.
