Convert JFIF to JPG

Turn a JFIF file into a JPG in your browser, without recompressing it. Free, instant, nothing uploaded.

Drop files here or click to browse. JFIF / JPG / JPEG accepted, batches welcome

Drop a JFIF above, get a JPG back instantly. No recompression, no quality change: the bytes come back exactly as they went in, renamed.

A JFIF already is a JPEG. The name stands for JPEG File Interchange Format, the standard that plain JPG files have followed since 1992. Windows occasionally saves a downloaded image as .jfif when a website labels it loosely, and then half your software pretends not to recognise a format it has read for thirty years.

Because the formats are identical, this tool does not convert anything. It hands the file back with a .jpg extension, byte for byte, without decoding or re-encoding anything, and nothing is lost in the process. Renaming the file yourself does the same job; this page just does batches, and explains why the problem exists.

The DIY fix: show file extensions in Explorer, rename .jfif to .jpg, done. The image data never needed changing.

Stopping it recurring is harder: the extension is chosen at download time, and on Windows it comes from the registry entry for image/jpeg, which on a good many machines reads .jfif.

Batches process at once, with a ZIP at the end.

Frequently asked questions

Is a JFIF file lower quality than a JPG?

No. It is the same format with a different name on the box. The picture inside is untouched by the rename, which is also why this tool loses nothing: there is no conversion to lose anything in.

Why did my computer save it as JFIF at all?

The website served the image with a loose label, and Windows picked the formal name of the standard as the extension. It varies site by site, which is why it feels random.

Does the file keep its metadata?

Yes, in this one case. Every other converter here redraws the pixels and drops the metadata; this tool changes only the name. Whatever the file carried, it still carries. Strip it by running the file through the image compressor, which re-encodes.
