JPEG to JPG: Same Format, Different Name

Here is the honest fact most converter sites skip: JPEG and JPG are the exact same image format. A .jpeg file and a .jpg file contain identical data. The two extensions exist because early Windows and DOS limited filenames to three letters after the dot, so .jpeg got shortened to .jpg on PCs while Mac and Unix systems kept the longer spelling.

So converting JPEG to JPG is really an extension fix. It matters because plenty of upload forms, older apps, and office systems validate the extension and reject .jpeg outright — even though the file would work fine. This tool does the fix two ways. Rename-only mode hands you back the identical bytes under a .jpg name: nothing is re-compressed, so quality loss is zero. Re-encode mode decodes the picture and saves a fresh JPG at the quality you choose, which is the option to pick when you also want a smaller file.
