How to open GIFV file?
The most common problem when using Graphics Interchange Format Video Data Format is that a specific GIFV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open GIFV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GIFV file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Imgur
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Imgur is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Imgur in it.

Programs to open GIFV file
Remember to download programs supporting GIFV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Imgur with GIFV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GIFV file still does not use the Imgur program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GIFV file with the Imgur application.
Step 3. Update Imgur to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Imgur program, it is possible that Graphics Interchange Format Video Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Imgur website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GIFV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The GIFV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GIFV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GIFV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GIFV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GIFV file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GIFV file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GIFV except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GIFV to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GIFV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GIFV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
