JPEG is a lossy compression format and is the abbreviation for the group who developed it: Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is lossy because it divides images into blocks of pixel information, calculates the ranges into curves, then throws away insignificant curves depending on the quality setting used, the lower the quality, the more information is thrown away.
