JPG vs JPEG Compression: Is There Any Difference in File Size?
JPG and JPEG refer to the same JPEG image format. Changing .jpeg to .jpg does not make a file smaller, because the compression happens inside the image data, not in the extension spelling.

Both .jpg and .jpeg files use JPEG encoding. File size depends on dimensions, image complexity, chroma subsampling and quality settings.
Use quality and dimensions for hard limits
If a portal requires 100 KB or 250 KB, an adaptive compressor must change encoding quality and sometimes pixel dimensions.
Batch when the whole folder has the same limit
A JPG-specific target page is useful when every source must remain JPEG and fit the same upload ceiling.
