The JPEG compression algorithm is at its best on photographs and paintings of realistic scenes with smooth variations of tone and color. For web usage, where the amount of data used for an image is important, JPEG is very popular. JPEG is also the most common format saved by digital cameras. JPEG is a widely used method of lossy compression for image. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality. So when I want clear up my JPEG files, in order to make them more orderly and clearly, I will convert them to PDF files then keep them in a PDF folder.
