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

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:.
