JPEG is a type of file commonly used with photography in which the photos are compressed. There are pros and cons of using this type of file: it can easily be stored, emailed and posted online however much of the quality of the photograph is lost when it is compressed. It is the most common file format for digital images. The acronym JPEG stands for the "Joint Photographic Experts Group" who created the standard format.
Photographers who wish to not loose any of the quality of their photographs shoot in RAW. RAW files are much bigger but also much higher in resolution.
