How do I change the file format?

I ordered a small batch of photos for a family album, but while preparing the layout, I found out that the print shop doesn’t accept images in the format they’re currently saved in. Resaving each photo manually takes quite a long time, especially if I want to maintain good quality. Can you recommend the best way to convert the files to the required format without losing image clarity?

A lot depends on the format in which the print shop accepts photos. JPG or TIFF are usually suitable for printing, but it’s best to check the requirements in advance so you don’t have to redo the layout later. If you’re unsure how to open the original image or how to convert it, you can search for instructions on how to convert a file https://files.wiki That site has information on various file extensions, so it’s easier to figure out the right format rather than changing settings at random. I also recommend saving the originals separately so you can always revert to the original quality

And if the photos are already saved as JPGs, is it worth converting them to TIFF before printing, or will the difference be practically imperceptible? I just don't want to unnecessarily increase the file sizes, especially if there are a lot of photos
