It utilizes a method of Lossy Compression which allows it to make use of relatively smaller sizes with acceptable results. The depth of compression can be customized to generate smaller sized images but with poorer quality. This is typically preferred to minimize the storage space involved in savingJPEG images.

It is used to create word documents that can contain a variety of different formats, including images and graphics. The word editor enables users to create documents that can be stored in any directory on the computer.
