I often save animated jpg's--why aren't they animated when I open the saved image?

Open the file in Internet Explorer from your local drive right click and select open with -> Internet Explorer. It will animate it, but photos editors wont.

Animated Jpg

Just like an animated cartoon, an animated gif is really a series of still shots. If you save it as a .jpg, only the first shot is saved.

If you are saving it as a .gif and it still shows up as a single shot, whatever you're opening it with isn't animating it.

You can't save an animated picture as jpg. It has to be a gif.

animated graphics are saved with the .gif extension. If you save an animated graphic as a .jpg, you only get one non-moving graphic.

jpg files dont animate, try gif but not all gif animates. try to preview first the file before saving it, if it animates save it.

Because you're saving them as jpg's when they are gif's. Click on file types when saving and save them as the same format

Normal picture programs does not have features to deal with animated pictures. When u save the file it only saves the action which is there at that point of time. No multiple actions. You need to use Adope Picture maker or other higher end picture manipulation programs to take care of this.

No idea -- but usually, only .GIFs are animated, and are the

only fie type to save as. Or, you might need to paste it somewhere to see it, usually the saved image isn't animated.

jpegs are raster based image files try an animated gif
