What is RPPM file?

Portable Image 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. It is recommended to use XnView to handle this file. This is a program created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.

How to open RPPM file?

The main problem with Portable Image Image Format is that the RPPM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RPPM 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 RPPM 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView in it. 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 RPPM files.

Programs to open RPPM file

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

Step 2. Create association of XnView with RPPM files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RPPM 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RPPM file with the XnView application.

Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version

If, however, after binding XnView with Portable Image Image Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 RPPM file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RPPM 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 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 RPPM file. However, remember that not every infected RPPM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RPPM file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RPPM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RPPM 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. It is best to move RPPM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RPPM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RPPM to close. However, some background programs may block the RPPM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
