Common JPEG markers[14]

Short name	Bytes	Payload	Name	Comments

SOI	0xFF, 0xD8	none	Start Of Image

SOF0	0xFF, 0xC0	variable size	Start Of Frame (Baseline DCT)	Indicates that this is a baseline DCT-based JPEG, and specifies the width, height, number of components, and component subsampling (e.g., 4:2:0).

SOF2	0xFF, 0xC2	variable size	Start Of Frame (Progressive DCT)	Indicates that this is a progressive DCT-based JPEG, and specifies the width, height, number of components, and component subsampling (e.g., 4:2:0).

DHT	0xFF, 0xC4	variable size	Define Huffman Table(s)	Specifies one or more Huffman tables.

DQT	0xFF, 0xDB	variable size	Define Quantization Table(s)	Specifies one or more quantization tables.

DRI	0xFF, 0xDD	2 bytes	Define Restart Interval	Specifies the interval between RSTn markers, in macroblocks. This marker is followed by two bytes indicating the fixed size so it can be treated like any other variable size segment.

SOS	0xFF, 0xDA	variable size	Start Of Scan	Begins a top-to-bottom scan of the image. In baseline DCT JPEG images, there is generally a single scan. Progressive DCT JPEG images usually contain multiple scans. This marker specifies which slice of data it will contain, and is immediately followed by entropy-coded data.

RSTn	0xFF, 0xD0 â€¦ 0xD7	none	Restart	Inserted every r macroblocks, where r is the restart interval set by a DRI marker. Not used if there was no DRI marker. The low 3 bits of the marker code cycle in value from 0 to 7.

APPn	0xFF, 0xEn	variable size	Application-specific	For example, an Exif JPEG file uses an APP1 marker to store metadata, laid out in a structure based closely on TIFF.
