JPEG and JPG are the same image format. This tool turns .jpeg files into .jpg files in your browser, without uploading anything.
FreeNo uploadBatch + ZIPNo quality lossJPEG and JPG are the same image format, so converting a .jpeg file to .jpg only means changing the file extension. This free JPEG to JPG converter does that in your browser, for one picture or fifty at a time, and it never uploads your files anywhere.
That's it. No sign-up, no watermark, no waiting for an upload to finish.
No, and this trips up a lot of people. Both names mean the same thing: an image compressed with the standard created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. Open a .jpeg and a .jpg side by side and the data inside is built the same way.
So why two spellings? Blame old Windows. Early versions of Windows (and the DOS file system under them) only allowed three letters after the dot, so "jpeg" got squeezed into "jpg". Macs and Linux never had that rule, so .jpeg stuck around there. Today every phone, browser and editor treats the two exactly alike.
| Extension | What it is | Can this tool convert it? |
|---|---|---|
| .jpg | The short, most common JPEG extension | Already the target |
| .jpeg | The long spelling of the same format | Yes |
| .jpe | A rarer short form of JPEG | Yes |
| .jfif | A JPEG saved with the JFIF wrapper, often from downloads | Yes |
| .heic, .png, .webp | Different formats, not JPEG | No, they're skipped |
If the formats are identical, why bother? Because software can be picky about the name, even when the image is perfectly fine.
The tool keeps your file's data exactly as it is and only gives it the .jpg name. Nothing gets re-compressed, so there's no quality loss, the file size doesn't change, and details such as the camera info stored in the photo stay put. If all you need is the extension changed, this is the mode.
Here the picture is drawn again and saved with the quality you choose. Two reasons to use it: you want a smaller file, or you want to strip the camera and location data hidden in a photo before sharing it. The trade-off is real, though. JPEG is a lossy format, so a lower quality setting can soften fine detail, and saving the same image over and over adds up. For a normal photo, a setting around 85 to 90 is a sensible middle ground.
You don't strictly need a tool for one or two files. Here's how to do it yourself:
It's quick for a couple of pictures. For a hundred, it's tedious, which is where a batch converter saves you the time.
Many "converters" just rename whatever you hand them, which can leave you with a PNG pretending to be a JPG. This one looks inside each file first. Only genuine JPEG images are accepted: a PNG, PDF or text file named .jpeg is skipped with a clear message. To keep things fast and stable, each file can be up to 25 MB and one batch can hold up to 50 files.
If a form keeps refusing your picture even as a .jpg, the extension probably isn't the problem. Check these:
The work happens right in your browser. Your pictures are not uploaded to our server, we don't see them, and when you close the tab they're gone. That matters when the photos are ID scans, receipts or family pictures you'd rather not hand to a random website.

Yes. JPEG and JPG are the same image format. The only difference is the file extension: older Windows versions limited extensions to three letters, so .jpeg was shortened to .jpg.
Add your .jpeg files to this tool, keep the default 'Rename to .jpg' mode, press Convert to JPG and download the files or a ZIP. Because both are the same format, only the extension changes.
Not in the default rename mode. Your picture data is left exactly as it is, so quality and file size stay the same. Quality only changes if you choose 'Re-save as a new JPG' and lower the quality slider.
Yes. You can add up to 50 files in one batch, each up to 25 MB, then download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.
Your files stay on your device. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent to our server.
Some forms and plugins only check for the .jpg extension. Renaming the file to .jpg fixes that, since the image itself is already a valid JPEG.
Yes. .jfif and .jpe files are JPEG images too, and the tool will give them a .jpg extension.
The tool checks the file's real content and skips anything that isn't a JPEG, so you won't get a fake .jpg.
On Windows, show file name extensions in File Explorer's View menu and edit .jpeg to .jpg. On a Mac, select the file in Finder, press Return, change the extension and confirm 'Use .jpg'. For many files, this converter is faster.
No. HEIC is a different format, not JPEG, so it's skipped. You can set your iPhone camera to 'Most Compatible' to take photos as JPEG.
In the default rename mode the file data is untouched, so camera and location details stay. If you want them removed, use 'Re-save as a new JPG', which draws the picture again without that hidden data.
Yes. Each file can be up to 25 MB and one batch can hold up to 50 files, which keeps the page fast in your browser.
Yes, it's free with no sign-up and no watermark.
