Why do images change format when downloading in AOL?
Turn off compressed graphics When you download web graphics to use on your website, the AOL browser will change the extension from the original format (either .jpg or .gif) to .art or .bmp files if you don’t have your graphics compression turned off. Using an independent browser will also fix this problem. To turn off your graphics compression in the AOL browser, go to the AOL Toolbar, click Members, click Preferences, click the WWW Icon. At the top of the next pop-up window, click the tab called “Web Graphics.” It will open to a page containing a small box called “Use compressed graphics” with the question “Do you want Web Graphics to be compressed. This will display pages faster”; under the question is a box if it is checked, uncheck it. Click Apply at the bottom of the screen, click OK. Note: Only other AOL users will see the graphics if you use them as .art or .bmp files. If you downloaded them as .art or .bmp, you will need to delete those graphics and download them again. Do not
