    How effective is it to download the .jfif, then open it with your browser (like Internet Explorer) and then use Microsoft's Snipping Tool to make a jpeg image?

    Downloading .jfif, opening in IE and using Snipping Tool can work, but quality may vary based on original image & browser display. Consider using a dedicated conversion tool for better control & quality, especially for professional/creative use.
