Convert IMG to JPG

Understanding IMG and JPG file formats

The IMG file format is a disk image file that contains a complete copy of a disk volume, including its file system. It is often used for creating backups or distributing software. On the other hand, the JPG (or JPEG) file format is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. JPG files are widely used due to their balance between image quality and file size.
