JPEG is an abbreviation for \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joint_Photographic_Experts_Group\">Joint Photographic Experts Group<\/a>,\u201d which is a tech industry group that created the JPEG image format widely in use in digital cameras, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>, and on the web.<\/p>\n<p>The JPEG format originated <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20140903080533\/http:\/\/www.jpeg.org\/public\/jfif.pdf\">in 1992<\/a>. At that time, most of the world\u2019s personal computers ran the Microsoft MS-DOS operating system, which only supported <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/8.3_filename\">three-letter file extensions<\/a> (borrowed from CP\/M). As a result, JPEG files gained the extension \u201cJPG\u201d on MS-DOS and early Windows platforms. Meanwhile, the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le Macintosh platform (used by a small minority of computer owners) had no such limitation, so JPEG files often carried the .JPEG file extension there.<\/p>\n<p>Today, both Windows and macOS can handle the full .JPEG file extension, and most apps understand and open both .JPG and .JPEG files equally. So if you have files with either extension that open properly in an image viewer or editor, there\u2019s no need to make any changes on your part.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Convert_JPEG_to_JPG\"><\/span>Can I Convert JPEG to JPG?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>: Since JPEG and JPG files are the exact same image format, no conversion is necessary to turn a JPG file into a JPEG, or vice-versa.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, all you need to do is rename the image file and change the file extension. For example, if you have a file named \u201cIMAGE.JPEG\u201d, and you\u2019d rather have \u201cIMAGE.JPG\u201d, use the rename feature in your operating system to edit the \u201cIMAGE.JPEG\u201d file name and remove the \u201cE\u201d from the \u201cJPEG\u201d extension. You can also do the same in reverse, changing \u201cJPG\u201d to \u201cJPEG\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a large number of JPEG or JPG files you want to rename, you can automate the process fairly easily both on Windows (by selecting multiple files and selecting \u201cRename\u201d in the context menu) and Macs (using the \u201cRename Items\u201d option in the menu bar). On Windows, make sure you show file extensions first.
