I've been trying for weeks and it won't work!
I tried File->Place, and also tried dragging the image directly into Illustrator. JPEG, PNG, PSD.. none working!!!!
I've uninstalled and reinstalled. It still won't work!
Is this a PC problem? Never had a problem before when I used Mac before.
How can I resolve this? I have to work on a project. Need help ASAP! 도와주세요!
I had the same issue, but I solved it. Here s how it works: Go to your Illustrator-Click Edit-Click Preference-Select Scratch disk-Change the primary location to a disk that contains enough space for operation-Then restart your Illustrator-Then it should work!
If you are running into this problem and you're using a version of Illustrator > 25.4.7 & < v26 you may have run into a problem where v25.4.8 cannot place pngs or recognize them. You may want to downgrade to 25.4.7. You can learn more about installing older versions of CC apps here: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html.
Wow! Thank you, changing the disk location just helped!

What exactly is happening? The file does not appear? Crash? Something else? Which version and system is it?
ASAP is always a little difficult on a weekend - 95% of people writing here are volunteers, not Adobe staff.

Thanks for replying, Monika.
It's the Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 version.
The JPEG, PNG files won't appear at all. I tried placing the PSD file and it says "the file is not readable", which is weird because I was able to place all these files in InDesign.

Where are those files located?
Perhaps on a server or a synchronized folder?

Checkout the layers panel are you on a locked layer?
Are you on a hidden layer?

Hi chana. Thanks for replying.
No, the layer wasn't hidden or locked.

You might need to reinstall Illustrator and if this does not help call teck support!

Can you place the image in a new blank file?
Is it only one image? Can you place other images?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I tried placing several pictures on a new blank file.
None of the images worked. Tried JPG, PNG, PSD.

Just open the image with paint and save it normally.
Now try inserting image in illustrator, it would work.

I'm having the same issue. Using Illustrator 23.1.1, trying to place .jpg image and it says there is an error with this file. Theres nothign wrong with the file - it opens on its own and is capable of being placed in indesign. However, I want it in illustrator! Does this with all file types when I try to 'place'. Its not the file - its illustrator!

Hi did you figure this out? This is so silly, im trying to place JPGs like I normally do and i'm getting an error unreadable message!

It's still happening in 2020 CC. I just resaved the image in Paint and it worked like a dream. I'm guessing an issue with Illustrator in general. Hopefully someone at Adobe will address this problem. 🙂

I've had the same problem (there is an error with file), but it seemed to resolve itself (after a lot of pain), when I saved the jpg as a 'baseline standard' rather than the 'progressive' setting that now seems to be the default. My original Photoshop file was about 1.4GB, which went down to about 25mb (as a 'progressive', though wouldn't place in Illustrator) and about 60mb (as a 'baseline standard', but paced in Illustrator with no problem). Hope this helps.
