Convert JPEG to JPG
JPEG and JPG are the same format, so nothing has to be re-saved. Your file is renamed, byte for byte, and comes back as .jpg.

How to convert JPEG to JPG
- Drop your JPEG files in the box above. Add as many as you like.
- The bytes are checked. A real JPEG is passed straight through, and anything that turns out to be a different format is converted properly instead.
- Download each file, or take them all in one zip. Every file keeps its name, with .jpg on the end.
Why JPEG and JPG are the same thing
If something has asked you for a JPG and you have a JPEG, you already have the right file. The extension is the only difference, and renaming it is enough. That's what this page does.
Most converters re-encode the picture anyway, which means decoding it and saving it again. A JPEG loses a little detail every time it is saved, so that's a real cost for no benefit at all. Here the bytes come back untouched.
The one case that does need converting is a file that's not really a JPEG. Saving a PNG as photo.jpeg is common, and some programs will reject it precisely because the contents don't match the name. The bytes are checked here, and anything that turns out to be a different format is converted properly, with the row saying so.
Common questions
Is the JPEG to JPG converter free?
Yes, properly free. No paid tier, no trial, no watermark on the result and nothing to sign up for. Put as many files through it as you like, as often as you like.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The JPEG to JPG converter runs inside your browser, on your own machine, so your files never go anywhere. Big ones are fine too, up to whatever your browser can hold.
Is JPG the same as JPEG?
Yes, exactly the same. JPEG is the name of the format, after the Joint Photographic Experts Group that designed it. JPG is the same word cut to three letters, because early versions of Windows and MS-DOS couldn't handle a longer extension. Any program that opens one opens the other, and the bytes inside the file are identical.
Will I lose quality converting JPEG to JPG?
Not here, because nothing is re-saved. The file you download is the same bytes you dropped in with a different extension on the name. Tools that genuinely re-encode the image do cost you a little detail, since JPEG throws some away every time it saves, which is a strange price to pay for a change of spelling.
Why does the form only accept .jpg then?
Usually because someone wrote the list of allowed extensions by hand and forgot the four letter spelling. The file itself is fine, and renaming it is enough to get past the check. It's worth knowing that this is a quirk of the form rather than anything to do with your picture.
Conversions that really do convert
If the file itself is the problem
- Compress an image to a target size Hit an exact file size, like under 1 MB, at the best quality that fits.
- Resize an image Exact pixels or quick percentages, with the shape locked.
- Crop an image Drag a frame, pick a shape and download at full quality.
