# Introduction

This plugin is available from within the host application. It allows to store images in JPEG format, which is usually set to a compression level that looses information (otherwise there's would be no size reduction) without losing any quality nor exif informations:

- Do lossless JPEG 90/180/270 Degree Rotation.

- Do lossless JPEG Horizontal or Vertical flip.

- Do lossless JPEG black and white conversion.

- Exif orientation tag based rotation or flip auto-adjustment.

- Do lossless recompression of JPEG images.

As a consequence of the lossless storage the file size will be larger (similar to the lossless PNG format) since there's no compression of the color coding information.
