Free JFIF to JPG converter online
Need a JPG instead of a JFIF? This free converter turns JFIF files into JPG images right in your browser. Add as many files as you like, adjust the settings and download the results individually or together as a ZIP.
JFIF is really a JPEG image saved with the .jfif extension. Windows and some browsers save images from the web this way, and many websites, printers and apps then refuse to open them. Converting fixes the extension and the compatibility problem.
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used photo format in the world. It uses lossy compression that throws away detail the eye barely notices, which keeps photos small, but it cannot store transparency and every re-save loses a little quality. JPG files usually carry EXIF metadata such as the camera model, the date and often the GPS location where the photo was taken.
