The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable trade off between storage size and image quality.
- JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with a loss in image quality that, while perceptible, is widely agreed upon to be acceptable.
- Since its introduction in 1992, JPEG has been the most widely used image compression standard in the world, and the most widely used digital image format, with several billion JPEG images produced every day as of 2015.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The JPEG article was read about 270,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
How to get JPEG
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
