Open BPG File

A BPG (Better Portable Graphics) file is an image format intended to be more compressible than the JPEG image format. It was developed by Fabrice Bellard, the compiler of the free and open-source Quick Emulator (QEMU) and original developer of FFmpeg. As promising as this format may become, the reality is that BPG is not yet broadly accepted or supported. Yet, there are several ways one can access and use these files. This article will discuss some possible formats and ways to deal with BPG file extensions.

Viewing BPG Files

Albeit less common and arguably less directly supported than other image formats, BPG files may still be viewed and accessed through a few different ways. Of course, one method would be through the BPG Viewer, developed by Fabrice Bellard himself, along with any browser supporting BPG directly. Other ways to view BPG files, may need conversion to a more commonly used format such as JPEG, PNG, or GIF.

Converting BPG Files

BPG files can be converted into more widely accepted formats through the usage of online conversion tools such as Convertio or software like Axara Media�s 2D to 3D Image Converter.

Editing BPG Files

Editing BPG files may prove to be a little tricky considering the fact that they are not as widely adopted. However, once converted into a commonly accepted format such as JPEG or PNG, they may be edited with any popular graphic editing tool.

BPG File Important Information

While BPG files do indeed offer superior compression to JPEG, it's crucial to remember that they are not as widely accepted or supported. Consequently, to view, edit or otherwise use such files, conversion to a more popular format may be necessary. While BPG may not be the most popular image format available, it offers great promise and it will be interesting to see if it garners more widespread acceptance in the future.
