JPEG is the file format used by digital cameras to save pictures. A JPEG file is relatively small, very easy to distribute, and suitable for uploading to social networking sites. Most operating systems come with a JPEG editor by default. If you have scanned multiple pages, a JPEG file will be created for each page. Use this file type if you want to modify or upload the scanned images. See the JPEG Wiki page for more information. |
