MPO File - opening and understanding
Did your computer fail to open a MPO file? We explain what they are used for and recommend software that we know can open or otherwise handle your .MPO files.
What is a MPO file?
A .MPO file is a Multi-Picture Object Bitmap file. The MPO file format was developed by the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) as a raster image format for use with digital cameras with multiple stereoscopic lenses.
These .mpo files contain two electronic images in JPG format and may also include metadata details. The .mpo file extension stands for Multi Picture Object. This file format allows two 2D images to be placed side by side in a single .mpo file to be viewed as a single 3D image.
Digital cameras with two stereoscopic lenses that use the MPO file format for its image output files include models under the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D series. These MPO files can be opened and viewed through certain digital image viewers and editing applications.
Using an unsupported image viewer will only display one of the two JPG images in the MPO file, usually the left image.
