Notes for File Types of shared files:

JPEG (pronounced jay-peg) is a commonly used standard method of lossy compression for photographic images. JPEG itself specifies only how an image is transformed into a stream of bytes, but not how those bytes are encapsulated in any particular storage medium. JPEG is the most common format used for storing and transmitting photographs on the World Wide Web. It is not as well suited for line drawings and other textual or iconic graphics because its compression method performs badly on these types of images.
