Tips to open JNG file
Can't open the JNG file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open JNG files as well as a list of programs that support JNG files.
JNG file extension
The JNG file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the JNG files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the JNG file on each system platform.
What is JNG file?
The file with the extension JNG is the Raster Image Files file type. In addition to this file, the Raster Image Files category includes 522 related files. JPEG Network Graphic is supported by 2 operating systems. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use XnView to handle this file. This is a program created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. You can use ACDSee, IrfanView in case XnView cannot be used.
How to open JNG file?
The most common problem when using JPEG Network Graphic is that a specific JNG is not associated with the program. This causes the file JNG 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 JNG 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the XnView program installed. This can be achieved by typing XnView into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JNG files.
Programs to open JNG file
Remember to download programs supporting JNG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with JNG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JNG file to open in the XnView application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 application as the default for handling the JNG file.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that JPEG Network Graphic requires a newer version of the program. 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 JNG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the JNG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JNG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JNG 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 JNG file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JNG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JNG 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the JNG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JNG to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
