What is SUMO file?
The file with the extension SUMO is the Raster Image Files file type. The author of this format is Snap Group. In addition to this file, the Raster Image Files category includes 522 related files. Sumo Paint Image is most often found on 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.

How to open SUMO file?
The main problem with Sumo Paint Image is that the SUMO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SUMO 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 SUMO 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 Sumo Paint Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the Sumo Paint Pro program installed. To do this, enter the name Sumo Paint Pro into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SUMO.
Programs to open SUMO file
Remember to download programs supporting SUMO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sumo Paint Pro with SUMO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SUMO file to open in the Sumo Paint Pro application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Sumo Paint Pro application as the default for handling the SUMO file.
Step 3. Update Sumo Paint Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding Sumo Paint Pro with Sumo Paint Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Sumo Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SUMO 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 SUMO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SUMO 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SUMO or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SUMO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SUMO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SUMO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Snap Group help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SUMO 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SUMO 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SUMO file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
