JPEG XR (JPEG extended range) 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. 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.
