What is a JFI (JPEG File Interchange) file?
A JFI file is a JPEG-based image format that adheres to the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF) standard. It is designed to store compressed digital images using the lossy JPEG algorithm while including essential metadata such as resolution, color space, and aspect ratio. JFI ensures cross-platform compatibility for sharing JPEG images across devices and software.
How to open a JFI file?
JFI files can be opened with almost any JPEG-compatible viewer or editor, including:
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Lightroom
GIMP
