JPG, also referred to as JPEG, is an image format used by a variety of devices, including digital cameras. It is also one of the default picture formats of many websites. If you download an image from a site, you most likely are going to save a JPG-formatted file. You can save this file format on a Mac computer, and because both PCs and Macs can read the file, you can transfer it over to a PC without any difficulty.
