When you'd do this
An upload form, a client's system or an old program accepts only files ending in .jpeg, and yours end in .jpg — or you want a batch renamed and stripped of camera details and location in one go.
What to expect
JPG and JPEG are the same format, so nothing about the picture changes but its extension — and its metadata. Each image is re-encoded at 95%, where this page starts, so it looks the same; the file can come out a little bigger or smaller than the JPG.
Recommended settings
Keep 95%: a second lossy save at a high Quality is invisible. If you only need the extension changed and want the file untouched, renaming it to .jpeg does that — what this adds is metadata removed, photos turned upright, Resize and a whole batch at once.
Where it opens
Everywhere a JPG opens: the files are identical inside, so any phone, computer, browser or app reads them.
Good to know
- Every lossy save costs a little; at 95% it's invisible, but don't repeat it many times over.
- Camera details and GPS location are removed — useful for privacy, but keep the originals if you need them.
- Wide-colour photos are converted to sRGB.
How to do it
- Choose your JPG files, or drop or paste them on the page — as many as you like.
- Each is set to JPEG. Change one on its own row if you like, and set Quality, Background and Resize in Settings.
- Convert all, then download each JPEG, or all of them in one .zip.
Questions
- Is JPEG the same as JPG?
- Yes. Same format, same data — only the spelling of the extension differs.
- Can I just rename .jpg to .jpeg?
- Yes, and the file stays exactly as it is. Convert here instead when you also want metadata removed, photos resized or many files done at once.
- Does converting JPG to JPEG lose quality?
- Very slightly, because the image is re-encoded; at 95% you won't see it.
