How to open ZXN file?

The most common problem when using PhotoEncrypt Encrypted Photo is that a specific ZXN is not associated with the program.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZXN 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 PhotoEncrypt

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ZXN files.

Programs to open ZXN file

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

Step 2. Create association of PhotoEncrypt with ZXN files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZXN file still does not use the PhotoEncrypt program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZXN file with the PhotoEncrypt program.

Step 3. Update PhotoEncrypt to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the PhotoEncrypt program, it is possible that PhotoEncrypt Encrypted Photo requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the A1Yippee.net website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ZXN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZXN file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZXN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ZXN 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZXN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact A1Yippee.net
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZXN 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ZXN to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZXN to close. 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.
