What is a .JPG_ORIG file?

A .JPG_ORIG file is a special type of image file that you might come across if you're using Google Chrome to download pictures from Twitter, especially when you're saving them in their original size. Normally, when you look at pictures on your computer or phone, they might have file extensions like .jpg or .jpeg, which are very common for images. However, when you download an original-size image from Twitter using Google Chrome, it gets saved with an extra bit in its name, making it .jpg_orig instead of just .jpg.

Despite this different extension, the file is still a JPEG image, which is a popular format for storing pictures because it can compress the file size without losing too much quality. The "_orig" part is just added to the end of the file name to show that it's the original size image from Twitter, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a JPEG image.

To open a .JPG_ORIG file, you don't need any special program that's different from what you would usually use to look at pictures. However, because of the unusual .jpg_orig extension, some image viewers or photo editing software might not recognize it right away. But there's an easy fix! All you have to do is rename the file and change the .jpg_orig part to just .jpg. After you do this, you can open it with any program that normally opens JPEG images. This includes all sorts of image viewers that come with your computer or phone, as well as web browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.

In summary, a .JPG_ORIG file is just a JPEG image downloaded from Twitter using Google Chrome, saved with a special extension. To view it, simply rename the file to end with .jpg, and then you can open it with your favorite image viewer or even a web browser.
