How to fix "file appears to be damaged corrupted or is too large" Windows Photo Viewer
"Windows photo viewer can't open this picture because the file appears to be damaged, corrupted or is too large". The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name. Contains an invalid path. You can see these errors when you are trying to open, copy or edit the file. This is because the file name contains illegal characters like colon (:), and hence Windows 8 failed to recognize such files and do the file operations you triggered. Solution is to rename the file and do any of the file operations like copy, open or edit. It's working.
Otherwise, check the size of the file, if it is damaged, then the size and size on disk are not nearly equal.
This is one of a example video, where the file name contains colon (:), which prevents Windows to recognize the file.
But in Other operating systems like ubuntu, the character colon (:) is supported to use in file names. If you are creating screenshot from ubuntu, then the file will be created and named automatically with colon symbol. So, if you are trying to copy the file to Windows 8, it will be failed. Colon symbol in the file name will prevent copying the file to Windows.
