#joint photographic experts group

[dedalvs]

-looks at the acronym sound out-

-soft whisper- No.

IT'S JOINT PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERTS GROUP SO .JPEG MUST BE PRONOUNCED J-FEG!

lol

Now, though, I'm wondering if .JPGs are from the Joint Photographers Group—the non-experts who also wanted to have a little something for themselves.

[foone]

Good: GIF is pronounced with a hard G because it stands for "Graphics Interchange Format"

Bad: JPEG stands for "Joint Photographic Experts Group", so JPEG should be pronounced "Jay-Pheg"

[mousemannation]

a win for Joint Photographic Experts Group !

How WebP (and JPEG XL) is saving me tons of storage

(8 minutes read)

In this article, I will cover the underappreciated WebP digital image format as well as how I found its usefulness for me to take over even less storage, and also JPEG XL to some extent. This will cover my history with it as well as its perks over the common formats found on the web, and probably give you an important efficiency advice.

So, if someone mentions you the name "WebP", how would you react? The answer I'd expect would be either:

you simply have never heard of it before;

you actually did, but you've complained about its problems at least once and, as a result, always viewed it negatively;

you are not too annoyed by it, but you just don't know its point for existing in the first place.

I actually understand all of that. Back then, when the software I used couldn't take advantage of the image, just like many others, I also had a feeling that it was useless, so I could relate. I'd just convert it into either a PNG or a JPEG, both of which were formats that I used the most back then. I felt as if they are the easiest to pick up thanks to their extremely wide software compatibility. As a result, I used PNG, for Portable Network Graphics, the lossless compression format for much of my digital drawings, and JPEG, for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the ancient lossy compression format for highly-detailed images to prevent them from taking up too much space.

Initially, these formats looked pretty fine to me, since I used to export very light images only, which meant I didn't have to worry much about storage use. The images often weighed between 100 kB and 1 MB, on a 1 TB hard disk, so I could save hundreds of thousands of them only on that disk. However, as I started exporting artwork with higher resolutions and detail simultaneously, storage use became a problem for me. Some of them began to weigh at least 10 MB when encoded into PNGs. JPEG also had big issues that I noticed later on; its very ancient compression algorithm meant that, while I also used it to compensate for large images to be able to upload them faster, they become garbled as a result of artifacts appearing from the encoding. Finally, this year is where I began to think that it was time for an ultimate change to see if I could fix them all, and indeed there were ways.

Looking up information wasn't so hard, after all

After at least five years of relying on the most popular formats, JPEG and PNG, I began thinking that perhaps they weren't actually the best. The amount of times I used them throughout my life made me realize that I should start trying out alternatives. So by searching for them, what I ended up often seeing is the main point of this article: WebP, maintained by engineers at Google.

I actually read a few times about that format before then. The only thing I learned from it back then was that it could offer better compression than JPEG, which I initially neglected because of my previous experiences with it that I already mentioned. For a few years, I never really cared about it, until my curiosity for it finally rose and I realized that I was probably underestimating its value. After I read more about it, I was thrilled to see that it could also offer a better lossless compression than PNG, but I simply kept that in mind since I needed to wait before trying it out and adopting it entirely. Alongside WebP, I came across the JPEG XL format, announced by its developers (who were also behind the legacy JPEG) to be the universal replacement for the current major image formats, which is hard to dream of, but it's indeed interesting to know how it could succeed. Sometimes I saw AVIF alongside, but I never saw any interest in it.

With that in mind, I first wanted to take JPEG XL in priority, after comparing two images encoded in the former and WebP side-by-side. and noticing that JPEG XL's compression outperformed WebP, which is a huge comparison to both PNG and JPEG. Sadly, due to the lack of support for it which may be addressed in the future, I decided to go for the more universal WebP instead. Needless to say, I still had really good times with it, even if I wanted the other alternative, which is not a big deal for now.

The perks of WebP to know

Being designed differently than PNG and JPEG, but also much later compared to them, WebP looks to address their issues and essentially become superior to them in several ways. It's actually a mix between both formats, meaning it can perform both lossy and lossless compression, with lossy meaning that artifacts will appear on the image, with their visibility depending on the compression strength, and lossless meaning that all detail will be kept on the image while still reducing its size, only less than lossy.

But it's not just that! WebP also has the following strengths:

Alpha blending, that is partial and full transparency, adopted by PNG;

Animation, adopted by PNG (did you know that?) and GIF;

Being an open format, letting anyone contribute to its development at any will (a rare Google W, by the way);

Less visible artifacts seen on lossy images, assuming that it has a similar size to the same image rendered in JPEG (demonstrated in the image above);

Stronger lossless compression than PNG (which I have bragging rights for);

A compatibility with several color spaces;

Oddly enough, "presets" (available only on some encoders), which seem to change the way images should be rendered...

...all of which can be combined together in a single image, even for animations. This is much more than what most other raster image formats offer, so with that single format, you can take advantage of its huge flexibility for multiple purposes! An amount of perks that is pretty outstanding, to say the least.

I tested this format out on a entire folder in which I kept fanart, most of which were PNGs. After converting them into WebP, and although it took a long time because of how large those images were in the first place, it resulted into about 50% of data being removed! So when considering that a collection of PNGs has a total of 1 GB of data, it's easy to notice how big of a difference 500 MB is compared to the former.

Conclusion

Despite what it seems to be for most people, WebP is a highly practical format. While its incompatibility with some popular software could be a deal-breaker for some, it still fares pretty strong with its multitude of features all combined together. While I am not convincing anyone reading this to immediately transition to that format as it could lead to some issues, it does deserve to be tested out by the average user to see how well it performs for them! Personally, WebP has helped me a lot for my main use cases, and while I was not in any tight situation before thinking of moving into it, I could definitely say it would let me avoid dealing with that for a much longer time.

If you appreciated WebP, that said, you should also check out the recently released JPEG XL format, designed with the same purposes but intended to be superior. There are still much more image formats that are meant to have their own big strengths, so you should keep looking for each of them too, in case you're interested.

This is the author of this article, Laddy, signing off now! I hope you all have a really lovely day, peace. 💙

The Ultimate Guide to Changing Photo Formats: Why It Matters

In today's digital age, images play a crucial role in how we communicate, market products, and express creativity. Whether you are a photographer, a graphic designer, or simply someone who enjoys sharing pictures online, understanding photo formats is essential. Different formats serve different purposes, and knowing which one to use can make a significant difference in the quality and usability of your images. This blog will explore why changing photo formats is important, the various formats available, and how you can easily convert images using tools like Face Converter.

Understanding Image Formats

When working with digital images, it’s important to recognize that not all image formats are created equal. Each format has its unique characteristics, advantages, and limitations that affect image quality, file size, and compatibility across different platforms.

Common Image Formats

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): This is one of the most widely used formats for photographs. JPEG files are compressed, which means they take up less space but can lose some quality in the process. They are ideal for web use and sharing images on social media due to their small file size.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics): PNG files are known for their lossless compression, meaning they retain all the original image quality. This format is particularly useful for images that require transparency, such as logos and icons.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format): While primarily known for its ability to support animations, GIFs are limited to a palette of 256 colors. They are best suited for simple graphics or short animations rather than complex images.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format): TIFF files are often used in professional photography and printing due to their high quality. They can support multiple layers and are ideal for images that require extensive editing.

WebP: Developed by Google, WebP is a modern image format that provides superior compression and quality. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, making it a versatile choice for web images.

Why Change Photo Formats?

There are several reasons why you might need to change the format of an image:

Compatibility

Different platforms and software have varying levels of support for image formats. For example, some web applications prefer JPEG or PNG files, while others may require GIFs or TIFFs. By converting your images to the appropriate format, you ensure that they are usable across various platforms without any issues.

A  JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) image, commonly referred to as JPG, is a widely used image format due to its compression capabilities, which help reduce file size while maintaining image quality to a certain extent.

[lifeinapic]

Do you have to save a PDF file as a JPEG one? Are you wondering whether JPG and JPEG are the same and if they have a different saving process? Well, so have we! We have compiled ways to transform and save a PDF file with a JPEG extension with tools like PDF.io. But first, let’s break down the differences between the two files.  What Is a PDF?Portable Document Format or PDF files were independently developed by Adobe using PostScript language.

¿Cuáles son los mejores formatos para imprimir online?

La impresión online se ha convertido en una opción popular para aquellos que necesitan obtener copias físicas de documentos, fotografías, trabajos académicos y materiales promocionales. Sin embargo, elegir el formato adecuado para tus archivos es crucial para asegurar que el resultado final cumpla con tus expectativas. En este artículo, te explicamos cuáles son los mejores formatos para imprimir online y por qué son importantes.

1. PDF: El formato estándar para impresión

El PDF (Portable Document Format) es, sin duda, el formato más recomendado y utilizado para la impresión online y para hacer fotocopias online. Este formato tiene varias ventajas que lo hacen ideal para asegurar la calidad de la impresión:

Conserva el diseño y formato: Un archivo PDF mantiene el diseño, las fuentes y los colores tal como los configuraste, independientemente del software o dispositivo que utilice la copistería. Esto evita problemas como el desplazamiento de elementos o cambios en la tipografía.

Compatibilidad universal: Los PDFs son compatibles con prácticamente cualquier dispositivo y software de impresión. Esto garantiza que no habrá errores de interpretación al abrir el archivo.

Seguridad: Puedes proteger un PDF con contraseñas o permisos, asegurando que el contenido no sea modificado antes de la impresión.

Consejos para imprimir en PDF:

Antes de enviar tu archivo, revisa que esté optimizado para impresión, seleccionando la opción "Guardar como PDF para impresión" en tu programa de edición.

Asegúrate de que las imágenes dentro del PDF tengan una resolución de al menos 300 ppp (píxeles por pulgada) para garantizar una impresión de alta calidad.

2. JPEG y PNG: Formatos ideales para imágenes

Si necesitas imprimir imágenes, como fotografías, ilustraciones o gráficos, los formatos JPEG y PNG son las mejores opciones. Ambos tienen sus propias ventajas dependiendo del tipo de imagen que desees imprimir:

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): Este formato es ideal para fotografías y gráficos con muchas tonalidades de color. Los archivos JPEG se comprimen para reducir el tamaño del archivo, lo que facilita el envío online. Sin embargo, esta compresión puede afectar ligeramente la calidad de la imagen si se utiliza en exceso.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics): El formato PNG es excelente para gráficos con fondos transparentes, logotipos o imágenes que necesitan conservar una alta calidad. A diferencia del JPEG, el PNG no pierde calidad al comprimirse, pero los archivos pueden ser más grandes.

Consejos para imprimir en JPEG o PNG:

Asegúrate de que las imágenes tengan la resolución adecuada (300 ppp) para evitar impresiones pixeladas.

Utiliza JPEG para fotos o imágenes complejas con muchos colores y PNG para gráficos con menos colores o que necesiten transparencia.

3. TIFF: Calidad sin compromisos

El TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) es un formato de imagen sin pérdida de calidad, lo que significa que conserva todos los detalles originales. Es ideal para la impresión de imágenes que requieren la máxima calidad, como fotografías profesionales o materiales que necesitan una alta resolución. Sin embargo, los archivos TIFF son considerablemente más grandes que los JPEG o PNG, lo que puede hacer que el proceso de carga y envío sea más lento.

Consejos para imprimir en TIFF:

Utiliza TIFF solo cuando necesites la máxima calidad, como en impresiones artísticas o fotografías de gran tamaño.

Asegúrate de que tu copistería online acepte archivos TIFF, ya que no todas las plataformas lo hacen debido al tamaño del archivo.

4. EPS y AI: Formatos para gráficos vectoriales

Para la impresión de logotipos, ilustraciones o cualquier diseño que necesite ser escalado sin perder calidad, los formatos EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) y AI (Adobe Illustrator) son las mejores opciones. Estos formatos vectoriales permiten que las imágenes se redimensionen sin perder nitidez, lo que es crucial para impresiones de alta calidad.

Consejos para imprimir en EPS o AI:

Utiliza estos formatos si tu diseño incluye elementos que se imprimirán en diferentes tamaños, como logotipos o banners.

Asegúrate de convertir todas las fuentes a curvas o líneas antes de enviar el archivo para evitar problemas de compatibilidad.

Conclusión

Elegir el formato adecuado para la impresión online es esencial para obtener un resultado de alta calidad. El PDF es la opción más versátil y segura para documentos y materiales de texto, mientras que los formatos JPEG y PNG son ideales para imágenes. Si necesitas la máxima calidad, el TIFF es la mejor opción, y para gráficos escalables, los formatos EPS y AI son imprescindibles. Al seguir estos consejos, garantizas que tus impresiones online cumplan con tus expectativas y luzcan profesionales.
