JPEG to YCbCr(YCC) Converter - Color Space Converter

JPEG color space introduction

Also known as the JPEG color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 255.Cb,range from 0 to 255.Cr,range from 0 to 255.
The JPEG standard was created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group and was officially published as an ISO standard in 1992.
JPEG, which stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. The file format is typically .jpg or .jpeg.
The compression method involves transforming the image to a frequency domain using a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), quantizing the frequency components, and then encoding the result. JPEG images also support various levels of compression, which can be adjusted to balance image quality and file size.
JPEG is ubiquitous in digital photography, web graphics, and online image sharing due to its efficient compression methods.
JPEG uses a lossy compression technique, which means that some image quality is lost in the compression process, but the reduced file size is useful for storage and bandwidth considerations.

YCbCr(YCC) color space introduction

Also known as the YCbCr(YCC) color space.There are 3 channels in total,Y,range from 16 to 235.Cb,range from 16 to 240.Cr,range from 16 to 240.
The YCbCr color space was specifically designed for digital television and video compression standards like MPEG and JPEG, aiming to minimize data size while maintaining high-quality imagery during the compression process.
The primary name is YCbCr. It is often confused with YUV, although they are technically different.
The YCbCr color space is typically used in a digital format, expressed as a combination of three component values, like (Y, Cb, Cr). For 8-bit video signals, these components typically range from 16 to 235 for Y, and 16 to 240 for Cb and Cr.
YCbCr is predominantly used in digital video capture, processing, storage, and transmission. It forms the core color space for television broadcasting, DVD videos, and image compression standards such as JPEG.
In the YCbCr color space, Y represents the luminance component, while Cb and Cr represent the chrominance components of blue and red, separated from the Y component, allowing chroma subsampling to reduce data amount. As the human eye is more sensitive to luminance than to chrominance, this separation usually doesn't affect the viewing experience.
