The main program that supports this format is XnView MP. This was created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.

How to open BMPP file?

An often recurring problem with Microsoft Windows Bitmap Image Format is that BMPP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BMPP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BMPP 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 XnView MP

In this case, you should first verify that the XnView MP application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XnView MP into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BMPP with XnView MP. Below you will find a list of applications that support BMPP files.

Programs to open BMPP file

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

Step 2. Create association of XnView MP with BMPP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BMPP file to open in the XnView MP application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XnView MP application as the default for handling the BMPP file.

Step 3. Update XnView MP to the latest version

If, despite the association of the XnView MP program with the Microsoft Windows Bitmap Image Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BMPP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BMPP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BMPP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BMPP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BMPP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BMPP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the BMPP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BMPP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BMPP to close. However, some background programs may block the BMPP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
