What is a JPEG file?

Files with the .JPEG extension contain lossy compressed images recorded in a standardized format created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group – JPEG for short - as well as metadata of this image, such as space and color profile, as well as image dimensions. The color scale of the image can be up to 24-bit. Loss compression means deterioration of image quality in the case of multiple compressions.

The JPEG format is popular for storing net-located graphics or photos. The .JPEG extension is the same as .JPG, however the shorter name is more common. Opening JPEG files is possible in many different programs on different platforms, also directly by dragging the file into a web browser. There are also a large number of free and professional JPEG editing programs that also support the export of JPEG files into other formats.

How to open JPEG files

If you cannot open the JPEG file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports JPEG among those that are installed on your device.

A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the JPEG file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.

Possible problems with the JPEG format files

The inability to open and operate the JPEG file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the JPEG Bitmap Image Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.

  • Corruption of a JPEG file which is being opened
  • Incorrect links to the JPEG file in registry entries.
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the JPEG from the Windows registry
  • Incomplete installation of an application that supports the JPEG format
  • The JPEG file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
  • The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the JPEG file.
  • Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a JPEG file are out of date.

If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the JPEG file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the JPEG file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the JPEG file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?

If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.JPEG) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected JPEG file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the JPEG file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.

Is there one way to open unknown files?

Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. JPEG) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
