The file in the YPC format belongs to the Graphic Files category. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. WhyPic Picture 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 YPC file?
An often recurring problem with WhyPic Picture is that YPC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file YPC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YPC 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. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file YPC.
Programs to open YPC file
Remember to download programs supporting YPC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with YPC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the YPC 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XnView application as the default for handling the YPC file.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XnView program with the WhyPic Picture file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YPC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the YPC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the YPC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected YPC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the YPC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YPC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted YPC 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. If possible, you can try to move the YPC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the YPC file again. However, some background programs may block the YPC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
