The use of multimedia elements is today one of the most practical ways to increase the quality of presentations, websites and many more activities, both personal and corporate. Within the various options of multimedia elements we find the images which are available in different formats and with multiple styles of both design and quality..

One of the most striking, and most used, formats is the JPG format , part of the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) group which has been developed as an algorithm to compress images with 24 bits of depth or grayscale, the JPG extension is due to various operating systems only accept three extension letters.
The JPEG algorithm (JPG) is a lossy compression algorithm, that is, when using the image after compression, the same qualities will not be obtained before compression.

It is capable of compressing up to a 10: 1 ratio and one of the most outstanding features of JPG is the ability to adjust the degree of compression, so if we use a very high compression a greater amount of quality will be lost, but they will obtain very small files, in changes, if we use a low amount of compression it will result in a quality identical to that of the original, and a small file..

Now, in some cases it will be necessary to resort to converting an image in a different format (GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF, etc.) to JPG for technical requirements or simply for compatibility. TechnoWikis will explain how to achieve this conversion without problems in Windows 10 and macOS Mojave.
