The file (Image) cannot open in adobe illustrator the file is an unknown format and cannot be open
Fixing error the file is an unknown format is easy in adobe illustrator. this error usually happens when someone wants to edit an image file downloaded from Instagram or other social media networks.
all you need just one tool,
which is an image convertor or video convertor
I personally recommend Formate factory is an easy and more efficient image and video convertor app available now
in my view, if you are facing this error it's because of your work with images in adobe illustrator
Follow the below steps to solve the format error in Adobe illustrator:
download and install the formate factory video and photo editor
open the formate factory
drag and drop the image file you want to edit in adobe illustrator
choose the file formate for the image in most cases the jpg is common chose jpg
Click the green start button above
your image is converted and you will find it in the source folder.
Now the image is ready and you can edit it in adobe illustrator with no issue.
Note:
this error happens when you save the image from Instagram with the help of some available apps on android or IOS
the image will be open fine in the adobe illustrator when you take screenshots from the Instagram post.
when this error appears to you it's not mean that the image file you selected is corrupt.
don't delete it,
this is because adobe illustrator doesn't support the image format you wanna open in it.
i already described that you must instal any image convertor software and then covert your desire image it may be png or jpeg both are the most usable image formats.
