  • Changing file extension does nothing. You would need to reencode the files in order to change what encoding (jpg or png) they use. BUT good news is JPGs only lose quality when they're encoded. Moving the files around or zipping them up won't change the contents of the file, so they won't lose quality. Unless you're opening them in an image editor or something like that and re-saving them, you're good. Same goes for compressed audio.
