You can convert digital images to the JPEG format.
Short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, JPEG is one of the most widely used digital image standards. Most digital cameras shoot in JPEG format, also called JPG after its file name extension. It offers a range of compression choices and allows users to balance file size and image quality to meet their needs. You can convert an image from another format to JPG with photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop, basic system software like Microsoft Paint, or a web-based tool like Zamzar.
