Why convert FILEBOLT to JPG?
Filebolt encrypts a single file, so people who bolted a photo end up with a .filebolt they can no longer view and want the .jpg back. There is no image conversion happening here - decrypting simply returns the original picture byte-for-byte, provided you have the password.
