What is a JP file?

JP files mostly belong to IrfanView. JP File is a digital image file that uses the JPG format.
It holds a JPEG image created with a lossy compression method to reduce file size while keeping a workable image quality.
  • This format is mainly used for storing digital photos.
  • Its structure is similar to the better known .jpg extension.
  • You can open it with image viewers such as IrfanView.
  • FilExt.com tip: If the file does not open properly, renaming it to .jpg may help.

    How to open a JP file

    You need a suitable software like IrfanView to open a JP file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your JP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a JP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
