You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .jpg. Files with the file extension .jpg can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .jpg files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .jpg file?

JPG files are classified as raster image files, and the .jpg file format is implemented for storing digital photos and images with support for 24-bit color. This makes the JPG file format a default standard for digital camera manufacturers and professional photographers. Because of the compression specifications integrated into the image content of these JPG files, its size is significantly reduced for optimal portability. This means users can conveniently share their digital photos and favorite images by storing it in the .jpg format and transmitting it via the Internet or through email. Because of its small size, large collections of these JPG images can be stored in external data storage devices and optical media. Many third party applications are integrated with a set of features for editing these JPG images.

how to open a .jpg file?

Launch a .jpg file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .jpg file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .jpg files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .jpg file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a  .jpg file will open the correct application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .jpg files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .jpg. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
