HEIF to JPE
File Converter

HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is a versatile image file format designed for improved compression, resulting in high-quality images with smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG. Developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), HEIF supports a wide range of features including transparency, 16-bit color depth, and the ability to store multiple images in one file, making it suitable for live photos and burst photography. However, its adoption has been gradual, and not all software and devices support HEIF files natively, which can necessitate conversion for broader compatibility.

The "JPE" file extension is a less common extension used for JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) images. JPEG is a widely used image format known for its lossy compression, which significantly reduces file sizes while maintaining a high level of image quality, making it popular for photographs and web images. The "JPE" extension functions the same as the more common ".jpg" or ".jpeg" extensions, and it can be opened and edited with most image viewing and editing software. The reason for the different extensions simply comes down to historical variations and software preferences, and they all represent the same JPEG image format.
