What is an AAE file?
Developed by Apple, its Photos app uses the AAE file format to save edits made to a JPG image. These files accompany the original pictures when users transfer them between macOS and iOS. Apple first introduced the form in iOS 8 and OS X 10.10. The later versions of the software came pre-loaded with support for AAE extension.
These files store information in XML format and are hidden from the users by default but bear the same name as the original image file. Users can also delete them after importing to Windows ecosystem without corrupting the image file.
