libjpeg is a widely-used free software library written in C which implements JPEG decoding and encoding functions alongside various utilities for handling JPEG images. This library is maintained by the Independent JPEG Group, an informal organization which is not affiliated with the JPEG ISO committee. The Open Source software implementation of the Independent JPEG Group, as well as being one of the major Open Source packages, was key to the success of the JPEG standard and was incorporated by many companies into a variety of products such as image editors and Internet browsers. The widely used IJG implementation was first publicly released in October 1991 and has been considerably developed since that time. JPEG JFIF images are widely used on the Web. The amount of compression can be adjusted to achieve the desired trade-off between file size and visual quality. Wikipedia [ - ]
