Demopan Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I was using paint.net for a while an it's been my go to editing program. Until I got an update and then I realised after the update all of my .png (Portable Network Graphic) files were turned into .png (Paint.net file) so while i was able to use the file for editing in paint.net I can't open in any other program and I can't use any of my png files for any other use because nothing can read this new (Paint.net file) .png for instance I can't attach a file to this post due to the website not being able to read the file. I installed paint.net from the official website I would sincerely like any help! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 A .png IS a Portable Network Graphic. You can use this to see if it is, indeed, a .png: Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Sounds like an operating system problem. Do you have other file management programs installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 The text in parenthesis just tells you what program will open it. The file itself isn't changed at all.

Demopan Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 This does not seem to be case. Like what I mean is that the file CAN be opened with ONLY paint.net nothing else can read the file websites,not even file browser. The wierd thing is that this is happening to ALL of my png files even the ones which I never edited with paint.net. all of this changes only happens after the update. The update was in paint.net itself it told me there was an update and I told it to update it after I exit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
