What is RPNM file?
The file with the extension RPNM is the Graphic Files file type. Additionally, the Graphic Files category contains 524 of other files. Portable Image Image appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. 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. This was created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open RPNM file?
The most common problem when using Portable Image Image is that a specific RPNM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that RPNM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RPNM 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. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RPNM files.
Programs to open RPNM file
Remember to download programs supporting RPNM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with RPNM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RPNM file to open in the XnView application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XnView application as the default for handling the RPNM file.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that Portable Image Image requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RPNM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to RPNM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RPNM file. Sometimes virus-infected RPNM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RPNM 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RPNM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RPNM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RPNM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RPNM file again. However, some background programs may block the RPNM file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
