Convert JPEG to MPEG

Understanding JPEG and MPEG file formats

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a widely used image format known for its lossy compression, which reduces file size while maintaining acceptable image quality. It is commonly used for digital photography and web graphics.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is a standard for video and audio compression. It is used for encoding video files and is known for its ability to compress video data without significantly affecting quality. MPEG formats are commonly used for streaming and broadcasting video content.
