Confused between .jpeg and .jpg? They're the same! Our tool can help you change the file extension from JPEG to JPG if needed for specific system requirements. 

JPEG vs. JPG: The Internet's Most Confusing, Simplest Question.

You’ve just downloaded a photo and its file name ends in .jpeg. You try to upload it to a website, but the system specifically asks for a .jpg file. Panic sets in. Are they different formats? Do you need to convert it? Will you lose quality?

Let's clear this up once and for all: There is no difference between a JPG and a JPEG file.

They are the exact same image format. The only difference is the number of letters in the file extension. "JPEG" stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the committee that created the format. In the early days of computing (on old MS-DOS systems), file extensions were limited to just three characters. So, .jpeg was shortened to .jpg. That's it!

So Why Would You Ever Need a "Converter"?

While 99.9% of modern software and websites understand that JPG and JPEG are identical, you might occasionally run into an old or poorly designed system that is rigidly programmed to only accept files ending in .jpg. In this rare case, you don't need to change the format of the photo, you just need to change the name of the file extension.

Our tool simplifies this process for you.
