com.groupdocs.merger allows developers to combine multiple image documents in the preferred order and save them as a single JPEG file.
About JPEG File Format
JPEG is a type of image format that is saved using the method of lossy compression. The output image, as result of compression, is a trade-off between storage size and image quality. Users can adjust the compression level to achieve the desired quality level while at the same time reduce the storage size. Image quality is negligibly affected if 10:1 compression is applied to the image. The higher the compression value, the higher the degradation in image quality.

The following example demonstrates how to merge images to JPEG file with several lines of Java code:
Create an instance of Merger class and pass source image file path as a constructor parameter. You may specify absolute or relative file path as per your requirements.
Add another image file to merge with join method and pass instance of ImageJoinOptions class as a method parameter. Repeat this step for other image documents you want to merge.
Call Merger class save method and specify the filename for the merged image file as parameter.
// Load the source image file
Mergermerger=newMerger("c:\sample1.jpeg"){// Define image join options with horizontal join mode
ImageJoinOptionsjoinOptions=newImageJoinOptions(ImageJoinMode.Horizontal);// Add another image file to merge
merger.join("c:\sample2.png",joinOptions);// Define image join options with vertical join mode
ImageJoinOptionsjoinOptions=newImageJoinOptions(ImageJoinMode.Vertical);// Add next image file to merge
merger.join("c:\sample3.bmp",joinOptions);// Merge image files and save result
merger.save("c:\merged.jpeg");}
