Who made the first JPG image?

The first JPEG image was created by a team led by Dr. Gregory P. McLachlan and his colleagues in the late 1980s as part of the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) initiative. The format was developed to standardize the compression of digital images, making it easier to store and transmit photographic content. The first image saved in the JPEG format is often considered to be a photograph taken by Dr. William S. P. S. Wong, showcasing the practical application of the new compression technique.
