What is a ECW file?
ECW is a highly compressed image format designed for large geospatial raster datasets. It’s used in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) for aerial and satellite imagery.
ECW balances image quality and compression ratio, allowing huge images to be used efficiently.
How to open ECW files
ECW files can be opened with GIS tools like ERDAS IMAGINE, Global Mapper, and QGIS (with plugins). They are not supported by most regular image viewers.
If you need to convert ECW to PNG or TIFF, AnyConv can simplify the process online.

What is a JPG file?
JPG (or JPEG) stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the team that created the standard back in the early 1990s. It’s one of the most common image formats in the world, known for compressing digital photos while retaining acceptable quality.
JPG uses lossy compression, which means some image data is discarded during saving. This makes JPG files smaller, ideal for web use, email, and social sharing — but less ideal for images that require fine detail or multiple edits.
How to open JPG files
JPG files can be opened on virtually any device — Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux — using default apps like Photos, Preview, or third-party software such as Photoshop and GIMP. Even web browsers can display JPGs natively.
This universal support makes JPG the go-to format for photography, online graphics, and digital documents.
