I have many folders with animated gif .files that I created using Photo shop Elements. I want to insert these in my emais on my IPAD3 as my signature tags.
I transferred them over using iTunes into my photos folder and they all automatically saved as jpg. files instead. So now they are non animated when I insert them in my emails. Why did they change, and how can I keep them animated?

I spent so many hours creating them and now I can't use them on this Ipad. Doesn't apple recognize windows gif files?

Please help
Thanks

i have noticed that if i save gifs using chrome they are saved as jpg.... using the tumblr app.. same problem, it only workw with safari.

is this only me?
is there a spr button on ipad, lol?

Unfortunately, GIF files are not supported by the iPad "out of the box." You'll need to get a 3rd party app in order to view gif files. When I did a search in the App Store for "gif," I got 85 hits, so hopefully you won't have any trouble finding a viewer that'll suit your needs...

Yes, and that is because GIF files aren't supported by the iPad out of the box, as Marilyn said. In the default Photo app t will be in .JPG, but the app will be .GIF.
