How to Use the JPG to JPEG Converter

The Difference Between JPG and JPEG

This is the most common question, and the answer is simple: there is no difference.

• JPG and JPEG are the exact same file format. The full name of the format is Joint Photographic Experts Group, abbreviated as JPEG.
• The only reason the shorter .jpg extension exists is because older versions of Windows (MS-DOS) required a three-letter file extension. So, .jpeg was shortened to .jpg.
• Modern operating systems can handle either extension, but some older software or websites are still programmed to only look for one or the other.

Our tool doesn't actually "convert" your image because it doesn't need to. It simply provides you with the same file, with the same high quality, just with the alternative file extension you need.
