How to convert JFIF to JPG

  1. Add your files

    JFIF, JPEG, JPE or JPG, up to 20 at once. The tool checks what's inside each file, not just its name.

  2. Nothing to set

    JPG is already chosen. Because the files are already JPEG inside, the picture isn't saved again: you'll see “Already a JPEG: your original file is kept unchanged.”

  3. Download

    Each file gets a .jpg name. Download them one by one or all together in a ZIP.

Which file ending do you have?

All of these hold the same kind of picture. Only the name at the end differs.

The file ends in…What it is, and what happens here
.jfifA JPEG saved by Chrome or Edge on some Windows computers. Renamed to .jpg, with the picture untouched.
.jpegThe full name of the same format. Some phones, cameras and apps use it. Renamed to .jpg.
.jpeAn old short form of the same name. Renamed to .jpg.
.JPG in capitalsAlready a JPG. Some upload forms are fussy about capitals; you get a lower-case .jpg.
.jpg, but it won't openIt may really be a PNG, WebP or HEIC with the wrong name. The tool reads what's inside and converts it properly to JPG.

When the ending matters

  • An upload form refuses the file and says it only accepts .jpg.
  • A photo saved from the web opens in the browser but not in your photo app.
  • A folder full of .jfif downloads that should all match the rest of your .jpg pictures.
  • A website builder or online shop that rejects .jfif or .jpeg product photos.
  • Sending pictures to someone whose phone or older software doesn't recognise .jfif.

JFIF, JPEG and JPG: one format, three names

JPG and JPEG are two names for one format: the three-letter version dates from when Windows only allowed short file endings. JFIF is the standard way a JPEG picture is stored, and on some Windows computers, pictures saved from Chrome or Edge end in .jfif.

As the picture data is already JPEG, the conversion is only a new name: same pixels, same file size, same quality. Converting PNG or WebP to JPG does save the picture again; for that, use Convert to JPG.

Questions about JFIF and JPEG

Are JFIF, JPEG and JPG the same?

Yes. .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe and .jfif are endings for the same kind of file. Any program that opens a .jpeg opens a .jpg.

What is the difference between JPEG and JPG?

None in the picture. JPEG is the format's full name; JPG is the three-letter ending older Windows versions required. Both files are identical inside.

Can't I just rename the file?

Often you can: change .jfif or .jpeg to .jpg and most apps open it. This page does the same for many files at once, and first checks that each one really is a JPEG.

Will the picture lose quality?

No. The picture data isn't saved again, so the pixels and the file size stay exactly the same.

Why do my pictures save as JFIF?

It comes from a Windows setting for the image/jpeg file type that Chrome and Edge follow. Changing it means editing the Windows registry; if you'd rather not, convert the files here whenever you need a .jpg.

My iPhone photo ends in .jpeg. Is that a problem?

No, it's a normal JPEG. If a form insists on .jpg, add it here and you get the same picture with a .jpg ending. For .heic photos, use HEIC to JPG.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device. See the privacy page.
