What's the diff between JPG and JPEG files?

Nothing really. They are both called "jay-peg" files. They both can be compressed at different rates to allow a good trade-off between size and quality. It's just Windows calls them .jpg by default and Mac calls them .jpeg by default.

It's kind of like the difference between .htm and .html. Old timers are used to only 3 characters for the extention. But newer OS allow 4 now, and sometimes it's more descriptive to do so. So, your choice.

The problem is when you are typing the filename "me.jpg" or "me.jpeg" into a website or program. How do you know which? "My Computer" does not distinguish.

DO YOU KNOW???? HELP!!!
