JFIF to JPG Converter

Turn .jfif images - the ones Chrome and Windows save - into normal .jpg files that every upload form and app accepts, with zero quality loss. Other JPEG names too: JPEG to JPG.

How to convert JFIF to JPG

  1. Add your JFIF files. Drop up to 100 .jfif images into the box, or browse for them. They never leave your device.
  2. Keep the original on. Nothing is re-compressed: same pixels, same size, same EXIF - only the extension becomes .jpg.
  3. Need it smaller?. Turn Keep the original off to pick a quality, a Max file size such as 200 KB, or resize.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to JPG. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

What is a JFIF file?

JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) is simply a JPEG photo with a different file extension.

Windows and Chrome often save web images as .jfif because of a registry setting - the picture inside is a normal JPEG.

Many upload forms, apps and printers only accept .jpg, so they reject a .jfif even though nothing is wrong with the image.

How to make Chrome save JPG instead of JFIF

  1. Press Win + R, type regedit and press Enter.
  2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\image/jpeg.
  3. Double-click Extension and change .jfif to .jpg.
  4. Restart Chrome - new downloads are saved as .jpg.
