Tips to open KRO file
Can't open the KRO file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open KRO files as well as a list of programs that support KRO files.
KRO file extension
The KRO file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the KRO files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the KRO file on each system platform.
What is KRO file?
The file in the KRO format belongs to the Raster Image Files category. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. Kolor RAW Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The XnView MP application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open KRO file?
The main problem with Kolor RAW Format is that the KRO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file KRO 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 KRO 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView MP in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KRO with XnView MP. Below you will find a list of applications that support KRO files.
Programs to open KRO file
Remember to download programs supporting KRO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView MP with KRO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KRO 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KRO file with the XnView MP program.
Step 3. Update XnView MP to the latest version
If, however, after binding XnView MP with Kolor RAW Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 KRO 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 KRO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the KRO file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 KRO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected KRO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the KRO 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KRO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file KRO 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the KRO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the KRO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KRO to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
