JPEG is a commonly used format of lossy compression for photographic images. The JPEG compression algorithm is at its best on photographs and paintings of realistic scenes with smooth variations of tone and color.

Such images are better saved in a lossless raster graphics format such as BMP, GIF, PNG or vector graphics formats.
