- The JIG file format is associated with Jigsaw, a type of puzzle game where players assemble puzzles to form a complete picture. JIG files contain the data necessary to render the puzzle pieces and their correct positions for the game. This includes the image used for the puzzle, the shape and number of pieces, and possibly hints or solutions. It is primarily used by digital jigsaw puzzle software to load different puzzles for users to solve.
- A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
