Understanding JPG Issues
Frequent JPG Opening Issues
Missing Adobe Illustrator CC
You attempt to load your JPG file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The JPG File Extension". Customarily, this means that Adobe Illustrator CC is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your JPG with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: Another JPG-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Outdated Adobe Illustrator CC
It is possible that your version of Adobe Illustrator CC isn't able to open your JPEG Image file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of Adobe Illustrator CC from Adobe Systems Incorporated is recommended. 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: Right-clicking on your JPG, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Conclusion: The majority of JPG file opening issues are due to not having the correct Adobe Illustrator CC version installed.
Other JPG File Issues
You can still experience errors opening JPG files even with the latest version of Adobe Illustrator CC installed on your PC. Other JPG opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for JPG
- Deletion of the JPG file description from the Registry by mistake
- Invalid installation of a JPG-associated program (eg. Adobe Illustrator CC)
- Your JPG can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- Your JPG has adversely impacted by malware
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your JPG file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open JPEG Image files
