Tips to open JP2_ file
Can't open the JP2_ file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open JP2_ files as well as a list of programs that support JP2_ files.
JP2_ file extension
The JP2_ file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the JP2_ files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the JP2_ file on each system platform.
What is JP2_ file?
The JP2_ file has been categorized as Raster Image Files. In addition to this file, the Raster Image Files category includes 522 related files. JPEG 2000 Picture Image Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is XnView MP. This was created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open JP2_ file?
The main problem with JPEG 2000 Picture Image Format is that the JP2_ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open JP2_, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JP2_ 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView MP is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView MP in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support JP2_ files.
Programs to open JP2_ file
Remember to download programs supporting JP2_ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView MP with JP2_ files
If, despite the installed application, the JP2_ file does not start in the XnView MP application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JP2_ file with the XnView MP application.
Step 3. Update XnView MP to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView MP program, it is possible that JPEG 2000 Picture Image Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JP2_ 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to JP2_ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JP2_ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JP2_ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JP2_ files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JP2_ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JP2_ 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 JP2_ file to another location.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file JP2_ to close. However, some background programs may block the JP2_ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
