RasterEdge Image products support for high-quality JPEG, JPEG EXIF image viewing, editing, manipulation, annotating, and printing in .NET Framework as well as web server.
What is JPEG?
As an acronym for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, JPEG is the standard image compression format for digital photography (image) created by this JPEG committee. Commonly, JPEG uses lossy compression, which means that some original image information is lost and cannot be restored, possibly affecting image quality.
JPEG is one of the popular formats for storing and sending images on the Internert, which is capable of storing & compressing true color images with 24 bits per pixel (eight each of red, green, and blue) and gray-scale images with 8 bits per pixel.
JPEG Features
Advantages of the JPEG Format
- Compress images into the smallest format
- Apply in many applications, especially on the web
- Shorter file transfer time
- Support 8-bit color and True color (24-bit)
- Control file size through compression ratios
- Apply in many applications, especially on the web
Disadvantages of JPEG Format
- Lossy compression, somewhat reduces the image quality and fidelity
- Sharp edges tend to come out blurry
JPEG Compression Modes
- Sequential Encoding
- Progressive Encoding
- Lossless Encoding
- Hierarchical Encoding
Note: JPEG processing and conversion is excluded in the standard RasterEdge .NET Imaging SDK, you may add it on with JPEG Convertor or .NET JPEG Convertor SDK
Viewing, Compression and Conversion
- RasterEdge .NET Imaging SDK enables customers to easily build JPEG viewing, editing, manipulation, annotating, and print JPEG into your applications right from your desktop or server.
- JPEG Converter is a free conversion application, which is an easy-to-use interface enabling you to quickly convert your JPEG images into other file formats, including Bitmap, Png, Gif, Tiff, PDF, MS-Word, etc. Besides, Visual C# and VB.NET sample codings are provided for image conversion if you want to use it in .NET development environments.
