Have you ever saved an image from the web and noticed it downloaded with a .jfif file extension rather than the standard .jpg, you are not alone. JFIF — short for JPEG File Interchange Format — is a format that defines how JPEG image data is stored.
Simply put, a JFIF photo is a JPEG image. The .jfif suffix occurs primarily after saving photos from specific browsers, mainly when the image is delivered lacking a defined file type header.
This file extension started showing to most people as some browsers here — particularly older versions of Internet Explorer — save JPEG images with the technically accurate .jfif extension when websites omits the download name.
The fix is simple: just rename the extension from .jfif to .jpg, or process it with a online converter to produce a properly labelled JPG photo. In each case, the photo content stays the same.
The quickest fix is a simple rename. On Windows, activate file extension display in File Explorer, click the .jfif file, choose Rename and change the file extension to .jpg.
