Convert CGM to JPG

Understanding CGM and JPG file formats

CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a file format used for 2D vector graphics, raster graphics, and text. It is widely used in technical illustration and professional design due to its ability to store complex graphical data. JPG (or JPEG, Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. JPG is favored for its balance between image quality and file size.
