JPG to JPE
File Converter

JPG (or JPEG) is one of the most widely used image file formats, favored for its efficient lossy compression algorithm that significantly reduces file size while maintaining a high image quality. It is commonly used for photographs and web graphics; however, the lossy nature of its compression means that some image quality is sacrificed, and this loss can be exacerbated with repeated editing and saving. JPG files support 24-bit color, allowing for a broad spectrum of colors, but they do not support transparent backgrounds.

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.
