I am not a highly tech functional person.

Can anyone explain, in little words, click by click, how to save a gif to an iPad?

I googled this and figured out how to email them but sometimes they move, sometimes they don't.

I have used mc tube to save youtube vids that I want to use offline and that helps.

What I really want to do is keep a file of these gifs that are already downloaded that I can quickly access it when I need a visual aid. I do not have good internet access at any of our training areas and I hate it when a good session slides to a complete stop while I try to get a gif to load up.

Thanks in advance.

I suspect (without actually trying on my pad) that your Ipad is opening the saved gifs using photo preview or similar app. I'd be willing to bet if you opened the saved gif with safari you'd see the animation.

I'd check right now, but I don't know where my kid hid my pad.

You can't view the gifs from the camera roll directly, but you can save them there. You need a gif viewer app. I use gif viewer but there are several. They will keep them all in an album for you too. You will see huge benefits from what you are doing. Good job coach.

Thanks- I ended up with giflay, put it on my iPhone.. This is going to really handy and it could not have been easier. Not sure why Google didnt answer this for me.

Coach I love your avatar, Newhart is likely the, um, most amusing accountant, you know, ever.

an interesting thing is you can just hold you finger on a gif (say on a website or whatnot) and save it from there. You can also send them in iMessage (like others said above you wont be able to view them in your camera roll) but once you post it in your imessage it will start playing and you can see it.
