About JPG to PICON Conversion

JPG (introduced 1992) and PICON are both image formats, but they differ in important ways. JPG (JPEG) uses lossy compression, making it ideal for photographs and complex images where small file size matters more than pixel-perfect quality. PICON is a widely used file format.
