JPG (or JPEG) is one of the most popular image formats, and it’s not hard to see why. Converting images to JPG can solve a number of problems you might face.

Your photo is too large and takes up much space

Converting an image to JPG lets you make an image file smaller in size while keeping a relatively high image quality, so many users convert photos to JPG to conserve hard disk space.

Your device won’t open a file

JPG is a universal format: it’s supported by almost every device. So if you convert your images to JPG, you can easily view and edit them on practically any device.

Having trouble uploading photos to social networks?

Not all formats are suitable for social networks. JPG images are great for posting on social media as JPG is one of the most widely used formats. Also, the small file size ensures fast loading.

If you need a handy JPG converter, we recommend you try Movavi Video Converter! This software is not just for video; it can help you convert images to JPG and many other formats.
