Why is my image a .jfif file?
JFIF and JPG are the same format — a JFIF is a JPEG that just happens to carry the .jfif extension.
On Windows, a registry setting for the image/jpeg type sometimes gets changed by a browser or app
update, and suddenly every image you save from the web lands as .jfif instead of .jpg.
Nothing is wrong with the picture, but plenty of upload forms and older apps check the extension and reject it.
This tool re-saves each file as a clean, standard JPG in your browser. Because the pixel data is already JPEG, the conversion is instant and lossless in practice — and nothing is uploaded anywhere. For the registry fix that stops Windows doing this permanently, see what is a JFIF file (and the fix).
Your files never leave your browser.
All processing runs locally on your device. No uploads, no tracking of file content.
FAQ
What is a JFIF file?
JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) is just a JPEG image with a different file extension. The picture data is identical to a .jpg — only the name is different. That is why some programs and websites refuse it even though it is, technically, a normal JPEG.
Why does Windows save images as JFIF instead of JPG?
It is a known Windows and Chrome quirk. A registry setting that maps the image/jpeg type gets changed — often by a browser or app update — and Windows starts saving 'Save image as…' downloads with a .jfif extension. The image is fine; the extension is just unexpected, which confuses upload forms and some apps.
Can't I just rename .jfif to .jpg?
Often yes — because the data is identical, renaming the extension usually works for a single file. This tool is for when renaming is not enough: batch-converting many files at once, guaranteeing a clean re-encoded JPG, and doing it without digging through file-extension settings. It also re-encodes so the output is unambiguously a .jpg.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser on your device. Nothing is sent to a server — verify it in your browser's Network tab.
Can I convert many JFIF files at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like and each is converted and offered for download in turn. No signup, no daily limit.
How do I stop Windows from saving JFIF in the first place?
The permanent fix is a registry edit that restores the .jpg extension for the image/jpeg content type. It is fiddly and risky if you are not comfortable in the Registry Editor, so for most people converting the files you already have is the faster answer.
