Introduction to the JPG_1 File Extension

The .jpg_1 extension appears in the filenames of images that have the .jpg extension but with a numerical suffix like "_1". This usually happens when you download an image more than once from the internet and the system adds numbers to differentiate between them. That's to say, there is no real file format called "JPG_1"; it's simply a naming occurrence. Hence, these files can be opened as regular .jpg files. More Information on JPG Files.
