Nothing is wrong with your file
A .jfif is a JPEG. Windows saved an ordinary photo with an unfamiliar extension on the end, and that is the whole of it.
Edge and the Photos app label saved pictures this way, so people who have never heard of the extension keep ending up with folders of them. The picture is untouched. What breaks is everything that decides what a file is by looking at its name — editors, upload forms, the program you have always used for photos — and refuses a name it does not recognise.
So the file is fine and the label is the problem. That leaves you two sensible ways forward, and which one is right depends on what you are actually trying to do with it.
Which one do you need?
If the file just has to open, renaming it is quicker. If it has editing ahead of it, or something asked for a PNG, convert it.
Change the extension
Rename the file so it ends in .jpg and almost everything will accept it, because the contents were a JPEG all along. No conversion, no second copy, nothing lost. We would rather tell you that than have you convert a file you did not need to.
Convert it properly
Every time a JPEG is saved it gives up a little more detail. PNG does not work that way, so a picture you are about to crop, retouch or pass around holds still from here on. And when a site or a piece of software insists on a PNG, only a real one will do.
Coming at it from an ordinary .jpg instead? JPG to PNG is the same conversion without the extension confusion, and what a JPG file is covers why .jpg, .jpeg and .jfif all exist in the first place.
Questions people ask
A JPEG photo with an unusual extension on the end. The picture inside is an ordinary JPEG in every respect — nothing about it is unusual, damaged or lower quality. Only the last few letters of the filename are different, which is enough to confuse a lot of software.
Because Edge and the Photos app label saved JPEGs that way, and have done for years. It catches people out constantly: you save a normal photo from a website and end up with a file your usual programs will not open. Nothing went wrong at your end.
Yes, and if all you need is for the file to open, that is the quickest fix — the contents are already a JPEG, so changing the extension is enough. Convert to PNG instead when you want a copy that stops losing detail as you edit it, or when something specifically asks for a PNG.
No, and it is worth being clear about that. The compression happened when the file was first saved, and PNG keeps faithfully whatever it is handed. What it gives you is a copy that will not degrade any further, however many times you edit and save it.
Because PNG keeps every pixel rather than discarding detail to save room, and a photograph has a great deal of detail to keep. Expect a noticeably bigger file. That is the trade for a copy that survives editing untouched.
Yes, and it is worth doing if Windows has left you with a folder of them. Drop in as many as you like; they queue together and come back as a single .zip. The conversion runs on your own device.
