About JPG
JPG, also written JPEG, has been the standard format for photos since 1992. Cameras, phones and the web all use it. It keeps files small with lossy compression, which drops detail the eye barely notices.
Every browser can show a JPG, but not everything inside it. Filepeek opens it at actual size, lets you zoom in to the pixel and shows its size, its color profile and its EXIF, the notes a camera leaves about how and where a photo was taken.
JPG and JPEG are the same format. The shorter .jpg comes from old versions of Windows, which only allowed three letter extensions. A .jfif file is a JPEG too, saved under that name by Windows and some browsers. Filepeek opens it like any other JPG.

Questions
Is JPG the same as JPEG?
Yes. They are the same format. Old versions of Windows only allowed three letter extensions, so .jpeg became .jpg.
What is a JFIF file?
A JPEG with another extension. A setting in Windows makes browsers save some photos as .jfif. Renaming it to .jpg changes nothing inside, and then every app opens it.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo opens inside your browser and is never sent to a server.
How do I see where a photo was taken?
Open it, then press Show EXIF. If the camera saved a location, it's listed with a link to the map.
Can I save it as PNG?
Yes. Choose Export, then Save as PNG. You get the full size image as a PNG.
What is a THM file?
A small JPEG that Canon and other cameras save beside each video as its thumbnail. It opens here like any JPEG.
Does it play Motion Photos?
Yes. A Motion Photo from a Pixel or a Samsung phone keeps a short video after its JPEG, and Play the Motion Photo plays it.
