Recover JPEG, JPG photos
JPEG and JPG are two of the most widely used file formats for saving photos. Though usage of JPEG format for saving photos is lesser compared to that of JPG, photos present in both these file formats are made use of widely in many capture devices and applications for saving photos.
Technically speaking, there is no difference between JPEG and JPG. The only difference is with the extensions that these two file formats make use of, and the different platforms on which they are used. While JPG extension is used in Windows platform, JPEG extension is used in Mac.
Joint Photographic Experts Group or JPEG file format is by default made use of in most of the digital cameras for saving the photos.
