Problem

A client sent me many jpeg files that I'd like to rename to jpg. Is this just a matter of renaming them, or should I open them with an image editing program and then saving them as jpg?

Fix for: Is there any drawback to just renaming jpeg files to jpg?

Low Risk

Extensions have no effect on the file itself. The difference might be having different applications associated with them, in which case renaming the file might cause it to be opened by a different application by default.
