How to Convert JPG to ISO with Ease

From a technical perspective, JPG is a graphical file format for storing still images. JPG is a very common image file format and it often manages to compress file to 1/10 of the original file size which is especially good for saving on bandwidth. The photographs saved in digital camera memory card and Internet photographs we see when surfing on the Internet are normally stored in JPG file format. Unlike JPG, it is well known that an ISO image file is a disc image of an optical disc. In other words, ISO image file is an archive file which is composed of all the data content written on an optical disc sector by sector. Taken data protection, preservation and convenience into consideration, you may find it handier to save image files in ISO format instead of JPG format under some circumstances. To handle this situation, hereby we would like to recommend two user-friendly software programs which could easily convert JPG to ISO for you in the following paragraphs.
