JPEG-LS is an image file format and compressed data format. It supports both lossy and lossless compression. The lossy compression is often called "near-lossless", because the encoder can set a limit on the maximum error. Its compression algorithm is LOCO-I, developed by HP Labs.

Disambiguation
JPEG-LS files are similar in structure to JPEG, but for all practical purposes, JPEG-LS is a separate and incompatible format.
Beware of documents which confuse the term "JPEG-LS" with the term "Lossless JPEG". See Lossless JPEG for more information.
Identification
Like JPEG, JPEG-LS files begin with bytes FF D8 FF.
A JPEG-LS file will contain an 0xF7 ("SOF55" or "JPG7") segment somewhere in it. Often, the 4th byte in the file is 0xF7.
Related formats
JPEG-LS compression can be used in some other file formats, such as JPX, JPM, SPIFF, and DICOM.
