Convert JPEG to JPG for Free | Smallpdf

JPEG is an acronym for “Joint Photographic Experts Group,” an image format released in the early 1990s. It is essentially the same format as JPG, with the latter only missing a letter because of Microsoft. MS-DOS and early versions of Windows limited file extensions to 3 characters, and both file extensions have been used interchangeably since.

Although the process involves first converting the JPEG to PDF and then converting the PDF to JPG, it is still only 3 simple steps for you. Our rapid processing speed, secure platform, and robust conversion capabilities allows you to complete this conversion process in less than a minute. The file size and image quality will be retained, so there’s no need to worry.

While the file is a PDF, you can use other Smallpdf tools, such as Compress PDF, before you export it as a JPG.

Convert Multiple JPEGs to JPGs

As a free user, you can use Smallpdf for a limited number of times each day and you can only convert one file at a time. To batch process multiple JPEGs to JPGs, sign up for a Smallpdf Pro 7-day free trial. This will make it possible for you to convert as many files as you’d like and use other Smallpdf tools without limits.

Converting Other Image Files to JPG Format

The Smallpdf image converter does support other image formats too. The compression technology used for JPG files means images in JPG format often have a smaller file size than other image formats. And unlike some file formats, JPG images can be opened on almost any device and operating system without needing special software. If you're sitting with a bunch of images in PNG, BMP, GIF, WebP, HEIC, or TIFF format, follow the same steps to convert them to JPG files.

How Large Can My JPEG Be?

The 5 GB file size limit for Smallpdf is per file and not in total. Since JPG images are already compressed 99.9% of the time, you don’t have to worry about uploading a JPEG or JPG that is too large for Smallpdf.
