How do I open JPG files on the PC?

The Huawei Mate 20 pro stores images in JPG format. I then sent this by e-mail to my PC, where I could not open it.

I need useful formats that the Bafög Office can also open. What do I do with the JPG files now? Can I somehow convert that? Even Gimp could not open her…

So gimp can usually open jpg files.

Otherwise there are convectors in the Intenet

If it is a real JPG image file, then any popular image viewer can open that as well.

The data is now likely to have either been damaged in shipping or it is not common JPEGs, but another file format that was simply renamed.

JPG is the most common format for photos. By default, every digital camera and smartphone stores photos in JPG format.

Any browser, graphic e-mail client and any image editor can open this, of course GIMP.

If Gimp could not open it, it was not .jpg.

Maybe damaged in the mail?

Just send a file to yourself and check if it is then open.

Also Firefox and Co. Can… Jpg show → just drag in a browser window.

Every xbeliebige image viewer does this. In general, even the installed operating system has one.

If not, install Irfanview. This is free for private use.

Ok, strange. So the smartphone shows "JPG" not JPEG.

These extensions are both used. JPG is the more common variant, but the programs understand both (JPG and JPEG). The whole thing has historical reasons: Old file systems supported only extensions with a maximum of 3 characters in length.

It was up to the mail app from Mircrosoft…
