While Real Studio has built in features for loading and saving JPEG picture files, this plugin gives you much more features:

• Load/Save RGB, CMYK and Grayscale JPEG images to/from file or memory.
• Faster than built in JPEG functions.
• Load damaged or partial downloaded JPEG files.
• Read/Write metadata and ICC Profiles.
• Get error/warning messages on damaged files.
• Rotate or flip JPEG images without recompression.
• Load JPEG files row by row to not block your app on huge files and show progress.
• Load/save JPEG files to/from memoryblocks as raw values.
• Read only JPEG header without image data to quickly find metadata.
• Read quickly thumbnails from JPEG files (2, 4 or 8 scale factor).
