JPE File Converter

JPEG files use a lossy compression algorithm based on the discrete cosine transform, which reduces file size by approximating image blocks. This compression can significantly decrease the file size, but repeated saving can degrade image quality over time. The format supports 24-bit color depth, allowing for over 16 million colors, which is why it’s preferred for rich, detailed photographs.

JPEG files with the .jpe extension function similarly to those with .jpg or .jpeg extensions, and all use lossy compression to reduce file size by selectively discarding image data. This format is universally supported across operating systems and devices, making it one of the most versatile image file types. Interestingly, the .jpe extension is less common but still fully compatible with most image viewers and editors.
