Convert CIN to JFIF

The CIN file extension stands for Kodak Cineon Bitmap Image, a format developed by Kodak in 1992 to digitize film images for electronic compositing, manipulation, and enhancement. It stores a single frame from a motion picture or video data stream with 10-bit color depth per RGB channel. Although the Cineon System is now discontinued, the format is still used in visual effects and film restoration. CIN files can be opened and converted using applications like Adobe Photoshop and XnViewMP.

The JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF), developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, is a standardized method of storing and transferring JPEG-compressed images. Introduced in 1991, JFIF ensures compatibility and interoperability among different platforms and applications. It is extensively used in digital imaging and multimedia for efficient image compression, which reduces file size without significant loss of quality. As a widely adopted format, JFIF supports a range of devices and software, making it a cornerstone in computer graphics and online image sharing.
