Supported formats
This tool accepts JFIF, JPE, JPEG, PNG, WebP as input and gives you a JPG as output. Everything happens on your device in seconds — your file is never uploaded, so there is nothing for anyone to keep.
JPG, JPEG and JFIF are the same format
JPEG is the image format; .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe and .jfif are just file extensions for it. The three-letter .jpg comes from old Windows and DOS systems, which only allowed three characters after the dot. .jfif is the name of the JPEG File Interchange Format — the standard wrapper inside almost every JPEG — and some Windows versions and browsers save downloads with it.
Because the picture data is identical, changing between them does not need re-compression. This tool checks the file's first bytes: if it really is a JPEG, it hands back exactly the same bytes under the new extension, so the quality and the file size don't change at all. Only a file that isn't a JPEG underneath (a PNG renamed by mistake, for instance) is actually converted.
Why an upload form rejects one extension and accepts the other
Many government and exam portals check the extension before they look at the file. A form that lists "JPG/JPEG" sometimes only matches the exact text ".jpg", and older systems often don't recognise ".jfif" at all, even though the picture inside is a perfectly normal JPEG. Saving the same image under the expected extension is the fix.
Some portals also check the file's first bytes. That is why a PNG that was simply renamed to .jpg still gets rejected — and why this tool converts non-JPEG files properly rather than only renaming them.
About the JPG format
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely supported photo format on the web. It uses lossy compression to keep files small, which suits photographs, but it cannot store transparency — transparent areas are placed on a solid background — and re-saving the same JPG repeatedly gradually softens fine detail.
The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your image is decoded with the same engine your browser uses to display images, then the pixels are re-encoded as JPG — so the file never leaves your device, nothing is uploaded, and even large images finish in a second or two.
Converting to JPG re-compresses the picture, trading a little fine detail for a much smaller file. At normal quality that difference is invisible on screen and in uploads, which is why JPG is the common choice for sharing and web pages.
