    HI RSCapra

    Open File Explorer

    On the View Ribbon (tab) temporarily tick the box marked 'File Name Extensions' that will allow you to see file extensions

    Find a jpeg file, right click that file and choose Rename

    Then, change the jpeg file extension to jpg

    .jpeg and .jpg are exactly the same thing. I didn't say almost the same. I didn't say virtually the same. They're exactly the same.

    Hi RSCapra

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    There is actually no difference between a jpeg and jpg file, they are one and the same format, there is no conversion necessary other than changing the file extension, if you are uploading to a website that will only access jpg files
