The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the A3G file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Photo! 3D Album

In this case, you should first verify that the Photo! 3D Album application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Photo! 3D Album into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open A3G file

Remember to download programs supporting A3G files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Photo! 3D Album with A3G files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the A3G file still does not use the Photo! 3D Album program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the A3G file with the Photo! 3D Album program.

Step 3. Update Photo! 3D Album to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Photo! 3D Album program with the Photo! 3D Gallery file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Pho.to website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A3G file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to A3G files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file A3G or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover A3G files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of A3G file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular A3G file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Pho.to, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted A3G files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move A3G to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the A3G file again. However, some background programs may block the A3G file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
