JFIF ( JPG, JPEG) is the file extension associated with the JPEG File Interchange Format and is commonly used to refer to files containing images within the JPEG file format. It was developed by the Independent JPEG Group (IJG), an open source group dedicated to image and video compression, as a method for storing and interchanging JPEG-encoded images. The JFIF standard was designed to eliminate the ambiguities inherent in other file formats that were being used to exchange JPEG images; it standardized the method that the images were encoded and represented.
Applications of JFIF
JFIF files are one of the most widely-used image formats on the nowadays, and can be found on most devices and websites.

Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .JFIF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .JFIF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .JFIF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .JFIF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .JFIF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .JFIF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .JFIF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .JFIF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .JFIF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .JFIF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
