JPEG and JPG are identical photo formats. There is no difference between a .jpg photo and a .jpeg file — both formats employ exactly the same JPEG compression standard and encode image data in the identical manner.
The sole distinction is only in the file extension, being a legacy issue from early computing. The JPEG format was created in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. Early Windows released early versions of Windows, the operating system had a limitation: file extensions could only be 3 characters.
Causing the 4-character .jpeg suffix to be abbreviated to .jpg for PC users. Non-Windows systems, not having the extension limitation, continued using the longer .jpeg file extension from website the start.
Although both extensions function the same in almost every modern software, there are specific situations where a service requires the .jpeg file type. For these situations, renaming the file from .jpg to .jpeg is all that is needed.
No actual conversion of image data is necessary — just changing the file extension resolves the problem usually.
