Chief JPEG Description

.JPEG
Extension:.jpeg
Group:JPEG Image

JPEG is the most common file extension used for a lossy graphics file. It is one and the same and used interchangeably with JPEG. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group which created the standard. Most images and graphics found online are mostly in the JPEG format because the lossy compression algorithm of the file extension greatly reduces the file sizes of images and thereby contribute to a faster loading time. However, it can also significantly reduce the quality of the image file. JPEG files have 2 sub-formats, the JPG/Exif which is mainly associated with digital cameras and JPG/JFIF, mainly used online.

Sources of JPEG Problems


Troubles Opening JPEG Files

Missing Adobe Illustrator CC

When you double-click your JPEG file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Adobe Illustrator CC missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the JPEG file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens JPEG files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Adobe Illustrator CC Requires Update

Sometimes your installed version of Adobe Illustrator CC won't support your JPEG Image file. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Illustrator CC installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your JPEG Image file was created by a different (newer) version of Adobe Illustrator CC than what's installed.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your JPEG file and clicking "Properties".


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening JPEG files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe Illustrator CC installed.


Other JPEG File Issues

Errors opening JPEG Image files can still occur even with the latest Adobe Illustrator CC software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading JPEG files, other external issues might be to blame. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • JPEG file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • The JPEG file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Adobe Illustrator CC or another JPEG application experienced a flawed installation
  • Something has caused file corruption of your JPEG
  • Malware-tainted JPEG file can't be opened
  • JPEG-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the JPEG Image format
