How to take JPEG photos on iPhone

A JPG or JPEG file (both pronounced "jay-peg") is an image file. While some JPG image files use the .JPG file extension and others use .JPEG, they are both the same type of file.

JPG files are supported by all image viewers and editors. It is the most accepted image format.

You can open JPG files with your browser, such as Chrome or Firefox (drag local JPG files to the browser window) and built-in Microsoft applications such as the Photo Viewer and Paint application. If you're using a Mac, Apple Preview and Apple Photos can open the JPG file.
