How do you spell JPEG?

J-P-E-G

JPEG is spelled J-P-E-G, usually in capitals because the letters stand for Joint Photographic Experts Group. The extension .jpg is the same format written with three letters. Every one of the stock images here downloads as a JPEG through the Download JPG button.

Spelling tip

Write it in capitals as an acronym; the file extension .jpg drops the e but means the same thing.
