Essentially, a JFIF image is a JPEG file. The .jfif extension appears mostly while saving photos from some web browsers, especially when the image was served with no a defined content-type header.

The .jfif extension started showing to most people since some browsers — mainly legacy versions of Internet Explorer — save JPEG files with the correct .jfif extension when websites fails to specify the filename.

Fixing this is straightforward: simply rename the file extension from .jfif to .jpg, or process it with a online converter to produce a correctly named JPG file. In each case, the picture quality stays the same.
