JPEG and JPG are the same format — "JPG" is just the three-letter extension older systems required for the JPEG standard. This editor opens both .jpeg and .jpg files and treats them identically. It is built for photographic images, where JPEG's smooth-gradient compression shines, rather than line art or screenshots that a lossless format would handle better.
Does the editor keep my JPEG colors and profile accurate?
+
Yes. The editor renders in sRGB, the color space the web expects, so the colors you see while editing match what viewers see. JPEG photos saved from cameras in other profiles are normalized on export to avoid the dull or shifted colors that happen when an embedded profile is ignored. Editing is completely free.
What can I adjust on a JPEG photo, and what is progressive JPEG?
+
You can crop, rotate, straighten, add text and shapes, and apply photographic filters such as contrast, sepia, and sharpen. On export the file is written as a baseline JPEG by default; progressive JPEG (which loads top-to-blurry-to-sharp on slow connections) is an encoding choice that affects loading, not the pixels. Because JPEG compression is lossy, heavy crops or filters are best applied in one pass.
Will EXIF data like camera model or GPS survive editing?
+
Your JPEG is processed entirely in the browser and is never uploaded unless you save it. When you export, the editor writes a clean JPEG that strips most EXIF — including GPS coordinates and camera serial numbers — so you can share a photo without leaking where or how it was taken. Keep the original if you need that metadata preserved.
