How to open ZPT file?

An often recurring problem with Zoner Photo Studio Template is that ZPT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ZPT 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 ZPT 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 Zoner Photo Studio

Programs to open ZPT file

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

Step 2. Create association of Zoner Photo Studio with ZPT files

If, despite the installed application, the ZPT file does not start in the Zoner Photo Studio application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZPT file with the Zoner Photo Studio program.

Step 3. Update Zoner Photo Studio to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Zoner Photo Studio program, it is possible that Zoner Photo Studio Template requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ZONER, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The ZPT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ZPT 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZPT file. Sometimes virus-infected ZPT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZPT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZPT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ZONER, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ZPT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ZPT to a different directory.
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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
