File Extension | JFIF |
Full Name | JPEG Interchange Format |
JFIF is a raster graphic format that uses JPEG image compression algorithm. JPEG is a lossy compression method that sacrifices some original information but in a way that viewer cannot or barely can tell the difference between the original image and JPEG image. JPEG file are smaller in size because of used compression.
File Extension | PNG |
Full Name | Portable Network Graphic Format |
Files with the .PNG extension contain an image bitmap with indexed colors, in a non-lossy compression, with no assigned copyright limitations. They allow for the saving of color in a spectrum wider than that used by GIF files, as well as assigning pixels with specific degrees of transparency or color saturation.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "JFIF") to another (referred to as "PNG"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, JFIF file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format JFIF to format PNG becomes essential.
So, how can we perform JFIF to PNG file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format JFIF and transforming it into format PNG. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of JFIF to PNG converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of JFIF to PNG. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the JFIF file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
