They are the same standard. Since the DOS file system only allows 3-character extensions, and historically extensions have been used to identify the type of (or application used to create) the file, JPEG files often have an extension of JPG to identify them as JPEG. Thus JPG is just a common filename extension for JPEG files.Three cheers for DOS! :-)
