1 # dutt 2018/11/7 2:41:35When I scrape images (.jpg) and they are save to file on my pc then try to open them I get message this is not a valid bitmap file or it's format is not currently supported.
If I manually download the same image I have no problems opening it. Why would I not be able to open it if I scraped it?
Hope someone can help with this.
This sometimes happens to me, even when I save images in a regular browser. Sometimes sites specify incorrect extensions for image files. There may be a problem with the file type or extension. Try to open the picture with some kind of universal graphics viewer (for example, XnView), maybe this will help.
