JPE to PJPEG
File Converter

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.

PJPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a widely used method of lossy compression for digital images. It is particularly well-suited for photographs and realistic paintings, and it works by reducing image file size with a slight sacrifice in quality. The amount of compression can be adjusted, allowing for a trade-off between storage size and image quality.
