.jgw File Extension

What is the .jgw file? What software do I need to open .jgw files? What are the specifications for .jgw files?
JGW file is an ArcGIS JPEG World File. JGW files are the ASCII files containing information for geocoding image data. Some image formats, such as ERDAS IMAGINE, BSQ, BIL, BIP, GeoTIFF, and grids, store the georeferencing information in the header of the image file. ArcGIS uses this information if it is present. However, other image formats store this information in a separate ASCII world file, since it contains the real-world transformation information used by the image.
The .jgw files are of Mime Type application/octet-stream and they fall under the category of Data File Extensions. If you have any additional information about .jgw files, send it to us.
