Gimp doesn't recognize most image extensions - sinergy - 05-12-2025
Hi
I just installed gimp 3.0.2 and when tryng to open a PNG image I find that I receive the following message: "File type unknown"
When I check what file extensions are recognized I see that only XCF, PAT, GBR, GBP, GIH are.
Can somebody please help?
OS: windows 10

Hi! How did you install GIMP (e.g. from the Windows Store or from the site installer)? It sounds like there's an issue with the image plug-ins - either from a bad install or anti-virus.
