How to open AGIF file?

The most common problem when using Active GIF Creator Project is that a specific AGIF is not associated with the program. This causes the file AGIF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AGIF 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 Active GIF Creator

In this case, you should first verify that the Active GIF Creator application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Active GIF Creator in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AGIF with Active GIF Creator. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AGIF files.

Programs to open AGIF file

Remember to download programs supporting AGIF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Active GIF Creator with AGIF files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AGIF file to open in the Active GIF Creator application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AGIF file with the Active GIF Creator program.

Step 3. Update Active GIF Creator to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Active GIF Creator program with the Active GIF Creator Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Image Tools Group website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AGIF file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the AGIF file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AGIF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AGIF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AGIF files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AGIF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Image Tools Group help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AGIF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the AGIF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AGIF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AGIF to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
