What is DLG file?
DLG is the file extension used for Digital Line Graphs, typically created using ArcGIS. Digital Line Graphs are vector graphics that use nodes (or coordinates) connected by lines and arcs to represent linear geographical features such as roads, rivers, elevation contours, woods boundaries, and military deployment zones. Digital Line Graph files can be imported into GIS applications like QGIS, DNR Garmin, or ESRI ArcMap, allowing users to view linear features as maps. [ ⏩ ] DLG file extension
What is JPEG file?
JPEG (.JPEG) is an image format widely used in digital cameras and Internet conversational mediums. This file type is owned by The Joint Photographic Experts Group and is supported by most operating systems, image processing applications, as well as web browsers. JPEG files are characterized by lossy compression, where the file size is reduced by discarding some of the data, resulting in reduced quality but with, significant size reduction.

How to convert the file from DLG to JPEG?
To successfully convert the DLG file to JPEG, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DLG). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case JPEG (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than JPEG).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DLG to JPEG. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting DLG files to JPEG files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension JPEG, while before this step we had the DLG file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new JPEG file, or not.
