Saving an picture file inwards the JPEG format is a ordinarily used method of "lossy" compression for digital photographic images. The score of compression tin hold out adjusted, allowing for a user selectable tradeoff betwixt storage size too picture quality. The greater the picture compression the smaller the resulting picture file too the greater the loss of picture quality.
By default, images are JPEG compressed when saved equally a PDF file.
How JPEG compression works
JPEG compression industrial plant yesteryear chunking similar picture pixels that convey slightly unlike colouring cloth values into groups of pixels alongside the same colouring cloth value.
The inwards a higher house master copy picture file size is 1.5 MB.
The same picture file saved at highest compression/lowest character is exclusively 92 KB. (Note: this bird of extreme picture compression would never hold out used inwards production work.)
Subtracting the pixels of the master copy picture from the JPEG picture reveals where pixels are different. Note that large areas of no especial similar the heaven convey been chunked into large pixel groupings field areas of fine especial convey been chunked into smaller pixel groupings.
The resolution of the master copy picture impacts the outcome of JPEG picture compression
On the left is the master copy high resolution image. On the correct is the JPEG version. Note that the JPEG artifacts are barely visible.
On the left is an master copy medium resolution image. On the correct is the JPEG version. Note that the JPEG artifacts convey overstep away visible.
On the left is an master copy depression resolution image. On the correct is the JPEG version. Note that the JPEG artifacts are forthwith really visible.
Bottom trouble - high resolution images tin tolerate a greater score of compression than depression resolution images.
Resaving images, fifty-fifty edited images, inwards JPEG format does NOT cut character further
The master copy picture saved at highest compression/least character to exaggerate the effects of JPEG compression.
The same picture resaved xv times at the highest compression/least quality. The picture was altered earlier each salve to strength recompression.
Subtracting the pixels of the master copy picture from the 15th version of the resaved JPEG picture reveals where pixels are different. Note that exclusively the areas where the picture was altered are unlike despite existence resaved xv times alongside high compression/low quality. All other pixels are the same.
Resaving images that convey been cropped DOES cut character further
On the left is the master copy picture saved alongside high compression/low quality. On the correct is the same picture that has been cropped too resaved alongside the same high compression/low character setting. Cropping the picture causes the chunking of pixels during compression to hold out redone too introduces artifacts.
Subtracting the pixels of the master copy picture from the cropped version of the resaved JPEG picture reveals where pixels are different.
Bottom trouble - multiple resaves of images alongside JPEG compression has no outcome on pixels (image detail) that convey non been edited. Pixels that convey been edited volition hold out "chunked" to the same score equally the pixels inwards the master copy image. In other words, images create non degrade afterward multiple resaves using JPEG compression.
The most mutual bird of compression used does NOT outcome inwards whatever visible picture degradation.

Image degradation is obvious
Bottom trouble - at typical JPEG compression levels in that place is no visible degradation of the master copy image. In fact, 1 has to overstep away to odd levels of compression earlier artifacts are seen (at to the lowest degree bird 8 inwards Adobe Photoshop).
Images alongside lots of modest especial compress less too mask JPEG artifacts improve than images alongside large polish tone areas.
Double bottom trouble - in that place is no argue to hold out concerned close saving images inwards JPEG format too hence long equally the highest quality/least total of compression selection is selected.
Special spider web log production note.
Unless otherwise stated, all "Original" images were depression resolution images. JPEG compression was "0" (lowest quality/highest compression). It was the exclusively agency to exaggerate the departure plenty to demonstrate the issues. If I had used the actual master copy images - xiv megapixels inwards this illustration - the differences would to a greater extent than frequently than non convey been invisible. Note that the Blogger website compresses the images that I upload too hence in that place volition hold out compression artifacts inwards the posted "Original" images that were non inwards the images that I uploaded.
I strongly encourage you lot to repeat whatever of these tests yourself alongside your ain images to confirm, or contradict, my findings.
I'm non suggesting that you lot purpose JPEG equally your preferred picture file type. My intent is exclusively to demo how saving an picture inwards the JPEG file format introduces, or does non introduce, artifacts too hopefully shed a lite on around ordinarily held beliefs close this picture file format.
