Since the error is usually related to a wrong file format and extension, the troubleshooting involves correcting the extension, changing or renaming the image file. The invalid JPEG marker issue can also occur due to faulty hardware. So troubleshooting your PC hardware may also be one of the ways out.<\/p>

  1. Change the image file extension<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Rename the image file<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Convert the image to a different format<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Open the file in another photo app<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Run hardware troubleshooting<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    Method\n1: Change the image file extension<\/strong><\/h2>

    When you save an image file, the extension is added automatically. However, if you add the extension manually, then either it may have two extensions like filename.pdf.jpg <\/em>or you might enter the wrong extension. To access a photo, the file extension should match the actual image file type.<\/p>

    So, view the file extension and make the\nrequired change. Remove the last extension that you added, if you\nsee two extensions. Ensure the JPEG file has correct .JPEG<\/em> or .JPG<\/em> extension.<\/p>

    How can you view the file extension of your image?<\/strong><\/p>

    File extensions are hidden by default on your computer. You can change the settings to view them.<\/p>
