File type JPEG Image Category Raster Image Files
Developer Joint Photographic Experts Group File format Binary
Description JPEG file is a JPEG Image developed by Joint Photographic Experts Group. A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.

Can't open a JPEG file?

When you click a file to open it, operating system examines the filename extension. If operating system recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When operating system does not recognize a filename extension, you receive the following message:

”Can't open this file: example.JPEG”。

To open this file, you install one of the applications from the list of software programs that you found here, you should be able to open, edit or convert the file with the JPEG extension without any issue.


Where I can download the application that support JPEG file?

If you do not know where you can download the application from our list, click on the link (which is the name of the program), you will find more information there on the location where to download the required application. Most often they are the websites of software manufacturers.


How to change file associations?

  • Right-click a file with the extension whose association you want to change, and then click "Open With".
  • In the "Open With" dialog box, click the program whith which you want the file to open, or click "Browse" to locate the program that you want.
  • Select the ”Always use the selected program to open this kind of file” check box.


Can I change the extension of JPEG files?

Changing the filename extension of a file is not a good idea. When you change a file's extension, you change the way programs on your computer read/open the file. The problem is, changing the file extension does not change the file format. Select a software program from our list and install it on your computer. If the file has not opened correctly, you have to look for a different software program from our list. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.


What else may cause problems width open a JPEG file?

The reasons for the lack of the ability to open a JPEG file on your computer may be at least several. The easiest thing is to find a suitable application installed on your computer, which will open a JPEG file. If there is still something wrong, you might want to check:

  • Whether the JPEG file is damaged.
  • Whether the JPEG file is incorrectly linked in the registry entries.
  • Whether the JPEG file extension has been accidentally removed from the Windows registry.
  • Whether the installation of an application that supports the JPEG file format is incompletely.
  • Whether the JPEG file is infected.
  • Whether the drivers of the equipment used for opening a JPEG file are up to date.
  • Whether your computer has enough hardware resources to open a JPEG file.

If the JPEG file still not working with your software after eliminating the above shortcomings? That means that the problem is more complex and requires the help of a specialist.
