Free Online PFM to JPEG Converter

Our image converter tool can quickly convert your PFM to JPEG while maintaining the highest level of quality and can accept up to 20 files at one time using our batch image file processor. When your JPEG image files are ready, you can either download them individually or, for convenience, combine them within a ZIP file.

Select File(s)

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your PFM file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted PFM file before this time.

Once you've selected your PFM files for upload, our image converter tool will provide you with the option to customize the processing of your images. To configure this, once you have selected an image, you will see a button, which you can click to reveal a set of image conversion options. These options include the ability to resize and rotate your image and to apply a grayscale or negative filter to your PFM.

File format information for PFM and JPEG

Extension	PFM
Full Name	Portable float map
Type	Image
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

The PFM (Portable Float Map) file format is an image file format used to store raster images in a simple binary format. Their simple format has made PFM an ideal format for tasks requiring high-precision storage of pixel data; however, due to the uncompressed nature of the format, PFM files can become very large at higher resolutions.

The format stores image pixel data using floating point numbers rather than byte range numbers (i.e. 0-255) found in most other image formats and does not use any compression, meaning there is no loss in quality when saving an image in the PFM format.

PFM files are a legacy file format that can be opened with certain image editing applications that still support this format; alternatively, we have a set of PFM image conversion tools designed to convert PFM files to other, more modern formats, such as PNG.

Extension	JPEG
Full Name	Joint Photographic Experts Group
Type	Image
Mime Type	image/jpeg
Format	Binary
Opens With	Paint.Net, Photoshop

A JPEG file is a compressed and highly efficient image file format whose aim is to store photographic-quality images using a fraction of the storage space compared to other lossy and non-lossy image compression methods available at the time.

The compression used by JPEG encoders is "lossy", meaning image colors that are not perceptible to the human eye are discarded during the compression process. The removal of this color data greatly reduces the size of the final JPEG file with no discernible loss in quality.

Due to their compact and high-quality format, JPEG files are one of the primary image formats used by websites, digital and phone/tablet cameras, and more. This widespread support means JPEG files can be edited within most popular image editing software.
