Don't you just hate it when these digital idiots present charts,
graphs, and even text imagery as JPEG files?  I sure as fuck do.
 
Do to the nature of the compression (which I won't describe) JPEG
compression is not suitable for charts, graphs, and text.  But that
doesn't stop the digital idiots.
 
However, FOSS has an answer:
 
https://github.com/victorvde/jpeg2png
 
From the link:
 
"jpeg2png gives best results for pictures that should never be saved as
JPEG. Examples are charts, logo's, and cartoon-style digital drawings."
 
I have not tried this yet but I keep it in my toolbox.
 
Man oh man!  These FOSS people are always right on top of it!
 
Micro$lop and its highly paid minions could never compete.
 
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Now I know you're an anti-Linux troll.

There's no way you don't know about ImageMagick.

ImageMagick-im6.q16(General Commands ManuImageMagick-im6.q16(1)

NAME
       ImageMagick - is a free software suite for the creation,
       modification and display of bitmap images.

SYNOPSIS
       convert-im6.q16 input-file [options] output-file

OVERVIEW
       Use ImageMagick® to create, edit,  compose,  or  convert
       bitmap images. It can read and write images in a variety
       of formats (over 200) including PNG,  JPEG,  GIF,  HEIC,
       TIFF,  DPX,  EXR,  WebP,  Postscript,  PDF, and SVG. Use
       ImageMagick to resize, flip,  mirror,  rotate,  distort,
       shear  and  transform images, adjust image colors, apply
       various special effects, or draw text, lines,  polygons,
       ellipses and B\['e]zier curves.

       The  functionality  of ImageMagick is typically utilized
       from the command-line or you can use the  features  from
       programs  written in your favorite language. Choose from
       these interfaces: G2F (Ada), MagickCore (C),  MagickWand
       (C),  ChMagick  (Ch), ImageMagickObject (COM+), Magick++
       (C++), JMagick (Java), JuliaIO (Julia), L-Magick (Lisp),
       Lua  (LuaJIT),  NMagick  (Neko/haXe), Magick.NET (.NET),
       PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for
       PHP  (PHP), IMagick (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), magick
       (R), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a  lan‐
       guage interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create im‐
       ages dynamically and automagically.
