A .jpe file is a JPEG. Nothing exotic is going on. PNG to JPE compresses your picture the JPEG way and writes it out under one of the several names that format has collected over the years, and the bytes inside are the same as any .jpg.
You are here because something demanded it. An old imaging application, an upload script with a fixed list of allowed endings, a batch process written years ago that nobody wants to touch now. Left to itself no modern program saves a .jpe, which is exactly why the request always comes from somewhere else.
This is the real cost of the trip. PNG can store see through pixels and JPEG cannot, so a cut out logo comes back sitting on a white rectangle. No setting changes that, it is a limit of the format you are converting into. If the transparency matters, stay on PNG.
A photograph stored as PNG is usually enormous and often lands near a tenth of the size afterwards. A screenshot of text or a two colour diagram is the opposite case. PNG handles those well already, so the .jpe can come out at a similar weight while looking slightly worse, with faint halos around small lettering.
Ordinary JPEG bytes
Anything that opens a .jpg opens this file once it accepts the name.
A tenth of the size on photos
Photographic PNG files are where the saving is dramatic.
Written out as .jpe
The ending is set during the conversion so there is no renaming afterwards.
PNG to JIF Converter
Turn PNG images into .jif files for the software that still lists that spelling.
PNG to JFI Converter
Produce .jfi files from PNG images for systems that match on that exact extension.
PNG to DIB Converter
Write PNG images out as .dib bitmaps for Windows software that expects raw pixel data.
PNG to CUR Converter
Turn PNG artwork into .cur files, the format Windows uses for mouse pointers.
Yes, one format with two endings. Renaming a .jpe to .jpg changes nothing about the picture inside it.
No. Some file managers only build previews for extensions on their own list, and .jpe is rare enough to be missing from it.
Try renaming one copy to .jpg. Some checks read the extension and others read the first bytes of the file, and that tells you which kind you are up against.
You can convert it, but the detail JPEG discarded does not return and the transparency stays gone. Keep the PNG if there is any chance you will need it.
