Convert JPEG to JPG

If the site you're uploading to only accepts .jpg files, you can convert your JPEG to JPG here. Just upload it and download it as a JPG. The width and height stay the same, and there's nothing to install.

Drag and drop your JPEG file here

You can select one static image file.

Converting files is free. You can select images between 32 and 8000px in both width and height.

How to convert JPEG to JPG

A lemon photo open in the editor, with the download panel set to JPG under File format and 1x under Size

1. Upload your JPEG

Drag a JPEG file onto the upload area, or click [Select JPEG file] to choose one. Files ending in .jpeg or .jpg both work, as long as they're 100 MB or smaller.

2. Sign in, then click [Download JPG]

Sign in before you click [Download JPG]. The editor then opens, and a download panel appears with JPG already selected. If you sign in after the editor opens, your photo won't carry over and you'll have to upload it again.

3. Edit first if you need to

To crop the photo or add text, close the download panel and make your edits. If all you need is a .jpg file, skip this step.

4. Save your JPG

If you didn't edit anything, just click [High resolution download] in the download panel. If you did, click [Download] at the top right to reopen it. This time the panel may show a different format, so pick JPG under [File format] and make sure [Size] is set to 1x.

When you need to change a JPEG to a JPG

Some websites and online forms only accept .jpg files. If your file ends in .jpeg, it may be rejected or trigger a format error, even though there's nothing wrong with the photo.

Save it again as a JPG and you'll get a file ending in .jpg that the site will accept. It won't make the photo look any better, though.

A JPEG photo goes into the editor and comes out as a JPG of the same photo, downloaded at 1x with File format set to JPG

Your JPG keeps the same dimensions

Keep [Size] at 1x in the download panel, and your JPG will have the same pixel dimensions as the photo you uploaded. A 1200 × 1162 px JPEG, for example, comes out as a 1200 × 1162 px JPG.

Need a smaller JPG? Download it at half size

In the download panel, choose 0.5x under [Size] to get a JPG at half the width and height. JPG downloads are unlimited on the Free plan, so you can always download it again at a different size.

Choose a color for the space around your photo

If you shrink or move the photo and leave part of the canvas empty, that area comes out in the canvas background color. It's white by default, and you can change it in the editor before you download.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Are JPEG and JPG the same format?

Yes. JPEG and JPG are the same format, and the only difference is the file extension. Older versions of Windows only allowed three-letter extensions, which is why .jpg caught on. Both are still in use today, so unless a site specifically asks for .jpg, there's no need to convert.

Can I just rename a .jpeg file to .jpg on a Mac?

Yes. Renaming the file from .jpeg to .jpg is all it takes, and the quality won't change. You can rename it in Finder on a Mac or File Explorer on Windows. If extensions are hidden, turn them on first. If you want to crop or shrink the photo before saving, convert it here instead.

Will converting to JPG lower the quality?

It may drop slightly, because your photo gets saved again as a JPG. When we tried it on a photo, the file came out 16% smaller, but we could barely tell the difference. You can't set the compression level. Files over 23 MB also get compressed once more before they open in the editor.
