JPEG XR[4] (JPEG extended range[5]) is an image compression standard for continuous tone photographic images, based on the HD Photo (formerly Windows Media Photo) specifications that Microsoft originally developed and patented.[6] It supports both lossy and lossless compression, and is the preferred image format for Ecma-388 Open XML Paper Specification documents.
The format is natively supported by Windows Vista and later as well as Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11. Third-party support for the format includes Adobe AIR, Affinity Photo, Paint.NET, and Sumatra PDF.[7][8][9]
The JPEG XR format replaces the HD Photo/Windows Media™ Photo format in both Windows 8 and the Windows Image Component (WIC). WIC accompanies the Internet Explorer 10 redistributable packages for down-level versions of Windows.
