Please check if you are using a OOTB file upload component in your project.

FileUpload — Granite UI 1.0 documentation​

Component Path: /libs/foundation/components/form/upload

sling:resourceType="cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/fileupload"

if you try to upload a new thumbnail image on editable template this image gets corrupted and get saved .sftmp file.

The workaround is to remove the file extension .sftmp and image will start loading fine. This was known issue and fixed on AEM 6.4

Hi,

file.sftmp is used to hold tempaory assets data in JCR.

when you use fileupload component and browse/drag-drop an asset in component, asset is uploaded in JCR with name file.sftmp, and as soon as you submit dialog, node name changed to file.

In Summary:

before dialog submit asset node name is file.sftmp

after dialog submit asset node name is file
