Please send the file with a bug report to Irfan Skiljan and let us know what he says. Tell him which program was used to create the file. See Help, About IrfanView for his address.

I could open the file in IrfanView after saving it from Serif PhotoPlus X8.

I have the same problem. Version 4.54 64 bit. I'm on Windows 10.

I can open this image in any other program, i.e. Chrome or MS Paint. However Paint seems to handle it better than Chrome, which for some weird reason trims the image by around 70px in height.

It's a screenshot generated by a game client (retrocores):



I guess whoever developed the client made a shoddy work around decoding or image headers in screenshot capture, but then why this image opens on other programs? Can I make IrfanView be less strict about these faulty headers so it can open this image as well?

This thread is about PNG files, but the image that you have attached is a JPG image. It opens just fine in IrfanView 4.54.

I suggest attaching the original PNG image or BMP (or whatever it was).

That's strange, it is a png, could it be that the uploader is converting it to jpg?

It is the same problem as already reported and confirmed.

IV couldn't open that PNG, even if it works fine for other programs. Why so?

As with the other reported buggy file, if I save your file from Serif PhotoPlus it opens fine in IrfanView. Probably, IrfanView is stricter than other viewers about invalid files.

If you send a bug report to Irfan Skiljan, let me know the result and I will update the thread. See Help, About IrfanView for his email.

I've done a little investigation. There are two kinds of PNGs.

spacepotion.png and uy8luHK.png are basic paletted images. I don't know what's wrong with them. They both were created by Software GLDPNG ver 3.4.

It6eytH.png is invalid. It's 32bit RGB+alpha image. The file contains tRNS chunk, which is not permitted in 32bit images.

I was able to fix all the PNGs using PNGOUT.
