What is a .JPG_SMALL file?
A .JPG_SMALL file is a type of image file that you might come across if you're using Google Chrome to download smaller pictures from Twitter. When you save these smaller images from Twitter, they end up on your computer or device with the ".jpg_small" at the end of their name instead of the usual ".jpg" that you might be more familiar with. Despite this different ending, the file is still a JPEG image, which is a common format for pictures because it can be easily shared and doesn't take up too much space.
To open a .JPG_SMALL file, you don't need any special program that's different from what you would usually use to look at pictures. However, you might need to do a tiny bit of work first. Since most image viewing programs or web browsers look for files that end in ".jpg" (and not ".jpg_small"), you'll have to change the file's name. This is really simple: just rename the file by deleting "_small" from the end, so it ends with ".jpg" instead. After you've done that, you can open the file with any program that usually opens pictures, like the photo viewer on your computer or even a web browser like Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. This works no matter what kind of computer or device you're using.
