JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group), is a universal file format that utilizes an algorithm to compress photographs and graphics. The considerable compression that JPEG offers is the reason for its wide use. As such, the relatively small size of JPEG files makes them excellent for transporting over the Internet and using on websites. You can use our compress JPEG tool to reduce the file size by up to 80%!
If you need even better compression, you can convert JPG to WebP, which is a newer and more compressible file format.
Almost all image-viewer programs and applications recognize and can open JPEG files. Simply double-clicking the JPEG file will usually result in its opening in your default image viewer, image editor, or web browser. To select a specific application to open the file, utilize right-click, and select "Open with" to make your selection.
JPEG files open automatically on popular web browsers such as Chrome, Microsoft applications such as Microsoft Photos, and Mac OS applications such as Apple Preview.

A TEXT file is an ordinary plain-text document, the same thing as a .txt file — unformatted characters with no styling, images, or layout attached. Everything the file contains is readable as-is, which is why plain text is used for notes, logs, configuration files, source code, and data exports. The only piece of hidden information is the character encoding, typically UTF-8, which tells software how to turn the stored bytes back into letters.
Any text editor will do. Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and gedit on Linux all open the file instantly, and so does every web browser.
If the document is very large or contains code, Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code handle it far more comfortably and let you switch encodings when characters display incorrectly. Word processors such as Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer can import the text if you want to add formatting. You can also convert the file with our TXT to PDF tool.
