What is a JIF file?
JIF (JPEG Interchange Format) is the original file format for JPEG images. It defines the core structure for JPEG compression but lacks support for color space and metadata.
JIF is mostly replaced by more complete formats like JPG, but the extension still appears in some older software and test datasets.
How to open JIF files
Most modern software supports JIF if it complies with the JPEG compression standard. You can open JIF files with image viewers like IrfanView, XnView, or convert them to JPG.
Use AnyConv to easily convert JIF to PNG, JPG, or other formats online.

The format with a confusing name
Because of its `.jif` extension, many users once mistook JIF image files for the American “Jif” peanut butter brand. This coincidence sparked plenty of jokes on forums in the 1990s, with people asking if you could “spread” a JIF file.
