What is LJP file?

The file with the extension LJP is the Raster Image Files file type. The creator of this file is Joint Photographic Experts Group. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. Lossless JPEG Image appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Nero Multimedia Suite. This was created by Nero AG.

How to open LJP file?

The most common problem when using Lossless JPEG Image is that a specific LJP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open LJP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LJP 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 Nero Multimedia Suite

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nero Multimedia Suite is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nero Multimedia Suite into the 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 LJP files.

Programs to open LJP file

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

Step 2. Create association of Nero Multimedia Suite with LJP files

If, despite the installed application, the LJP file does not start in the Nero Multimedia Suite application, you must create a file association. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LJP file with the Nero Multimedia Suite program.

Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Nero Multimedia Suite program with the Lossless JPEG Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Nero AG website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LJP file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LJP 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LJP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LJP 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 LJP files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LJP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Joint Photographic Experts Group help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LJP 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.
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. Copying the LJP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LJP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LJP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
