What is a(n) JXR file?
JPEG XR Image (JXR) is a raster image format developed by Microsoft with the goal of improving upon the standard JPEG image format. It supports higher resolution images than JPEG, and also has lossless-compression capabilities. The format is supported natively in Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Windows and Windows Phone.
JXR images are made up of tiles which are arranged to be easily editable, allowing for subsequent edits to be done more quickly and reducing the storage requirements of the image. This makes them suitable for applications such as image editing and printing, as well as being used as a compressed yet high-quality source image in numerous other applications.
How to open JXR file?
There could be multiple reasons for which the system does not support given file. In the case of JXR extension, it is probable that none of the installed programs support given file type. Therefore, user should undertake the following steps
Step 1: Install a program that supports JXR files
If an application that supports JXR files is installed on user’s system, but is not used to open such files by default, right-click on the file icon and choose "Open with" option from the menu. Next, select the proper application and check the "Always use the selected application to open this kind of files" box. The system will store this information in its registry and use the selected program to open files with JXR extension by default.
Hint for Mac OS users
For Mac OS users the procedure is analogous – open the file menu by right-clicking on the JXR file and choose "Information" option and select "Open with program" option. From the submenu select an application and click on "Change all" button.

Should that be the case, user needs to download and install one of the following applications. Once installed, the system will automatically associate newly installed application with JXR files. If this step fails, see step 1.
