Convert RGB to JPG

Understanding RGB and JPG file formats

The RGB file format is a color model used in digital imaging, where colors are represented by combining red, green, and blue light. It is primarily used in devices like monitors and cameras to display images. On the other hand, the JPG (or JPEG) format is a widely-used image format known for its lossy compression, which reduces file size while maintaining acceptable image quality.
