    Lightbulb [Solution] Cannot open .png files copied from iPhone on a PC

    I've had problems opening the PNG files copied from the iPhone through SSH on a PC (not Mac).

    Thanks to help of the board members:

    I've found the program called fixpng. It didn't come up easily searched on google so I will post the link to the program here.

    It fixes the PNG files copied from your iPhone to your PC, making the PNG files readable on your PC.


    Hack that Phone - Converting PNGs for usability

    Attached are the original SMS ballon PNG files previously not able to be opened on a PC, that have now been fixed.

    Good Luck all!

    The PNG's on the iPhone do'nt have the same structure as normal. You can convert them online: release78.org

    Both these sites are useless... one does not work and the other no longer exists!

    use the program i attached, it fixes the pngs that cant be opened (exactly your problem in this case!)

    when its done just place the pngs that are ssh'ed from iphone that wont open or give a preview into the 'png' folder, then click iPhoneFixPng.exe and click convert. itll fix them and put them in the 'fixed' folder for you...voila...now you can see them=) give thanks if this helped!
