Images are converted on your device with your browser’s own encoder. Nothing is uploaded.

JPG vs JPEG
JPG (also written JPEG) is lossy and has no transparency. It is the standard for photos because it keeps files small.
JPEG and JPG are the same format; the three-letter .jpg extension dates from old Windows file-name limits.
Do I need to convert JPG to JPEG?
Usually not: any app that opens .jpeg opens .jpg. Some upload forms check the extension literally, though, and a few older systems expect .jpeg. This page renames the file and, if you lower the quality or set a maximum width, re-encodes it to make it smaller.
How to convert JPG to JPEG
- Drop one or more JPG files on the box above, or click it to choose files.
- Pick a quality: 80–90% is a good balance of size and detail.
- Press Convert and download each JPEG, or download all.
JPEG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour you choose (white by default).

Frequently asked questions
Is this image converter really free?
Yes. There are no limits, watermarks or sign-ups, because conversion uses your own device rather than our servers.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Files are read and converted by JavaScript in your browser tab. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.
Why is my PNG bigger than the JPG?
PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel exactly. For photos that usually means a larger file than JPG or WebP. Use PNG for graphics and screenshots.
Can I convert to AVIF?
Only if your browser can encode AVIF. The AVIF option is disabled when it can’t; decoding AVIF works in all current major browsers.
Does converting keep EXIF data such as location?
No. Re-encoding through a canvas drops EXIF metadata, including GPS location, which is often a privacy bonus.
