Have you ever stored an image from the web and discovered it saved with a .jfif suffix in place of the standard .jpg, you are not alone. JFIF — which stands for JPEG File Interchange Format — is a standard that defines the way JPEG photos is encoded.

Essentially, a JFIF photo is a JPEG file. The .jfif suffix appears primarily when saving images from certain browsers, mainly when files are comes lacking a specific content-type header.

The .jfif extension started showing to regular users because some browsers — mainly previous versions of Internet Explorer — save JPEG files with the correct .jfif extension when websites does not specify the download name.

Fixing this is straightforward: simply rename the extension from .jfif to .jpg, or use a converter tool to create a properly labelled JPG image. In both cases, the photo content does not change.

The quickest fix is a direct file rename. For Windows users, activate showing file extensions in File Explorer, right-click the .jfif file, choose Rename check here and modify the extension to .jpg.
