What is XJT file?

How to open XJT file?

The most common problem when using Compressed GIMP Image is that a specific XJT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open XJT, 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 XJT 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 GIMP

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GIMP is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GIMP in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XJT with GIMP. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XJT files.

Programs to open XJT file

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

Step 2. Create association of GIMP with XJT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XJT file still does not use the GIMP program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GIMP application as the default for handling the XJT file.

Step 3. Update GIMP to the latest version

If, however, after binding GIMP with Compressed GIMP Image 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 The GIMP Team website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XJT file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XJT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected XJT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of XJT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XJT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting The GIMP Team, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XJT 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XJT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XJT to close. However, some background programs may block the XJT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
