What is a PJP file?

PJP files mostly belong to IrfanView. A PJP file is a digital image file that uses the JPEG2000 standard.
This means the file is structured much like a standard JPG but uses advanced compression methods.
Key details summarized by FilExt.com:
  • It is a raster image file following the JPEG2000 specifications.
  • It stores image data using both lossy and lossless compression techniques.
  • You can open this file with software such as IrfanView or with tools like JPEGView.
  • FilExt.com note: The format is favored in some specialized image applications and allows for improved image quality at similar file sizes compared to older JPEG methods.

    How to open a PJP file

    You need a suitable software like IrfanView to open a PJP 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 PJP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PJP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
