How to open BPT file?

The main problem with CorelDRAW Bitmap Master is that the BPT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BPT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BPT 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 CorelDRAW

In this case, you should first verify that the CorelDRAW application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CorelDRAW into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file BPT.

Programs to open BPT file

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

Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with BPT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BPT file to open in the CorelDRAW 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 CorelDRAW application as the default for handling the BPT file.

Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version

If, despite the association of the CorelDRAW program with the CorelDRAW Bitmap Master file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BPT 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 suggests truncating the BPT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BPT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BPT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BPT file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BPT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BPT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BPT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BPT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BPT file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
