How to open JPG3 file?

An often recurring problem with JPEG Bitmap Image Format is that JPG3 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file JPG3 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JPG3 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the XnView MP program installed. This can be achieved by typing XnView MP into the operating system search engine. 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 JPG3 files.

Programs to open JPG3 file

Remember to download programs supporting JPG3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XnView MP with JPG3 files

If, despite the installed application, the JPG3 file does not start in the XnView MP application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 JPG3 file with the XnView MP application.

Step 3. Update XnView MP to the latest version

If, despite the association of the XnView MP program with the JPEG 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 JPG3 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 JPG3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to JPG3 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JPG3 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JPG3 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 JPG3 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JPG3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file JPG3 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. 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 JPG3 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JPG3 file again. However, some background programs may block the JPG3 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
