JPG and JPEG are the same photo formats. No distinction between a .jpg photo and a .jpeg photo — both apply the identical JPEG encoding method and save photos in the identical manner.
The only difference is purely in the file extension, which is a relic from early computing. JPEG was created in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. Early Windows introduced Windows in the early era, the system enforced a restriction: file extensions had to be no more than 3 characters.
Causing the four-character .jpeg suffix to be abbreviated to .jpg for Windows users. Non-Windows systems, not having this three-character restriction, continued using the complete .jpeg file extension from the start.
While both file types function the same in virtually all today's more info programs, some scenarios in which a platform requires the .jpeg extension. When this happens, renaming the file from .jpg to .jpeg is all that is needed.
No real conversion of image data is necessary — simply updating the file extension resolves the issue almost always.
