A .jif is a JPEG. The name comes from JPEG Interchange Format, the title of the standard as published in 1992, and JPG to JIF simply gives your photo that ending for whatever is asking for it.
Old file type lists. The extension turns up in software written when the standard was new, in a handful of conversion tools, and in the occasional validator whose author copied a list from somewhere older still. Nothing about the picture has to be different for those systems to be happy.
All three name the same compression. JIF was the standard as published, JFIF is the small revision everybody actually implemented, and JPG is the three letter form that survived because early Windows allowed nothing longer. Whatever the ending says, the bytes are laid out the same way.
One more pass of JPEG compression, since the file is written out fresh rather than copied across. On a photo straight from a camera you will never see it. On an image that has already been saved and resaved several times, each new pass shows a little more, so start from the earliest copy you can find.
One format, three names
JIF, JFIF and JPG all describe the picture the same way inside.
Ends in .jif
The spelling old validators look for is applied during the conversion.
Nothing to set up
The only decision on the page is which format each row is heading to.

For a handful, yes, and it avoids recompressing anything. Converting earns its place when there are too many files to rename by hand.
Gallery apps often refuse it, because they decide what to show from the ending rather than the contents. On a desktop it is far more likely to open.
Only through the fresh round of compression. Dimensions, colours and orientation all come across as they were.
Whichever the system named. They hold the same data, and a validator matching exact text will still reject the one it was not expecting.
