Why does Photobucket keep saving my pictures to my computer as an IfranView file?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47069points) May 25th, 2017

I double checked the extension. It specifies JPG, but it doesn’t save it as JPG, and I can’t open it in paint or post it to Facebook. The only other extension option I have is “all files,” but that does the same thing.

Hell, I can’t even open it in Ifran! It says, “Damaged file.”

I uninstalled Ifran. Now it defaults to some “windows” file. The preview only shows a square with blue mountains in it. I rebooted my computer. Same thing.

I tried an online image converter. Said there was an error converting the file.

Finally sent them from my phone to my email. Was able to save them in JPEG format that way. Now going to see what happens when I upload them to take them into Photobucket to share here. But what the hell is going on?
