JPEG to JPG

JPG → JPG

JPEG and JPG are the same format

If you have a .jpeg file and an app or form that only mentions .jpg, you are not missing anything: JPEG and JPG are the same image format with two spellings of the extension. The name comes from the Joint Photographic Experts Group; older Windows versions only allowed three-letter extensions, so ".jpeg" was shortened to ".jpg", and both stuck. This tool re-saves your file as a standard .jpg. Keep the quality high and the picture stays visually identical to the original, or lower it to make the file smaller. Because JPEG is a lossy format, re-saving at a lower quality compresses the image again rather than enlarging it. Everything happens in your browser. Your photo is read, re-saved, and downloaded on your own device, and nothing is ever uploaded.

is jpeg the same as jpg

Yes. JPEG and JPG are two names for the exact same image format; only the file extension differs. This tool re-saves your .jpeg as a standard .jpg, and you can optionally lower the quality to shrink the file. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

1. 1Drop your .jpeg files in, or tap Upload.
2. 2Keep the quality high to stay identical, or lower it to shrink the file.
3. 3Click Convert. Each image is re-saved as a standard .jpg.
4. 4Download your .jpg files. Nothing is uploaded.

JPEG vs JPG: is there a difference?

There is no difference in the image. JPEG and JPG are the same format, and both use the same image/jpeg type under the hood; the two spellings exist only because old Windows file systems capped extensions at three letters. Convert when an app, website, or form specifically asks for a .jpg, or when you simply want the shorter, more widely recognised extension. The picture itself is unchanged when you keep the quality high.
