Convert JPG to JFIF

Understanding JPG and JFIF file formats

The JPG (or JPEG) format is a widely used image format known for its lossy compression, which significantly reduces file size while maintaining acceptable image quality. It is commonly used for digital photography and web graphics due to its balance between quality and file size.

The JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) is a minimal file format that enables JPEG bitstreams to be exchanged between a wide variety of platforms and applications. It is essentially a subset of the JPEG format, designed to facilitate the exchange of JPEG images.
