JPG to JPEG Converter
Some systems and upload forms expect the .jpeg extension. JPG and JPEG are the same format, so this tool saves your .jpg file as .jpeg without changing a single byte of the image.

What changes when you convert JPG to JPEG
- .jpeg and .jpg are two extensions of the same JPEG format. A JPEG file is renamed, not re-encoded, so every pixel and all metadata stay identical; an image in another format is converted to JPEG.

Frequently asked questions
Answers about converting JPG images to JPEG with this free tool.
Is JPEG better than JPG?
No. They are two names for the same format and the same data. Only the extension in the file name differs: .jpg became common because early Windows versions allowed only three-letter extensions.
Is the image compressed again?
Not with the rename option, which is on by default for JPEG files: the file is saved as .jpeg in your browser, without being uploaded, decoded or re-encoded. A PNG or another format is converted to JPEG at the quality you choose.
Why would a site require .jpeg instead of .jpg?
Usually because of a strict file name check. Image viewers treat both extensions the same way, but a form that checks the extension literally may accept only one of them.
Is the JPG to JPEG converter free?
Yes, it is free and needs no account. It converts one image at a time, up to 10 MB and 25 megapixels, and adds no watermark. Images are processed for the conversion and are not stored permanently.
