These two formats are identical file formats. There is absolutely no difference between a .jpg image and a .jpeg image — both formats apply exactly the same JPEG compression standard and store image data in the same way.
The difference is only in the suffix, as it is a legacy issue from the early days of computing. JPEG was created in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. When Microsoft introduced early versions of Windows, the OS imposed a limitation: extensions were limited to be 3 characters.
This forced the 4-character .jpeg suffix to be shortened to .jpg for Windows computers. Non-Windows systems, without this extension limitation, used the full .jpeg file extension from the start.
While both file types function the same in virtually all today's check here programs, there are specific scenarios in which a platform requires the .jpeg extension. When this happens, renaming the file from .jpg to .jpeg is all that is needed.
No real conversion of image data is necessary — simply updating the file extension resolves the issue almost always.
