Solution to the Problem of invisible images in Linux

When you open a jpg file in Ubuntu, the image browser displays the Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50 error message, however, the image is successfully opened in Windows 7. What is the problem?

The story is like this. A friend sent dozens of jpg files packed in ZIP files, half of which were successfully opened, but the other half did not know why, an error message Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50 is displayed. At first we thought it was an error during image file packaging, but after the other party re-uploads the image, the same error message is still displayed and cannot be seen. In this case, we can infer that it was not a problem during packaging, some images may have problems. Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50 indicates that the file is Not jpg, because the file header is 0x89 0x50, 0x89 0x50 is png. So we can change the extension file name of these jpg files to png, and we can see it successfully. In Windows, png files are often archived as jpg files. We hope this article can be a reference for Linux users.
