Hi,

This snipped URL directs you to the image:

http://snipurl.com/2lm8t

How were you trying to snip it?

Happy snipping,

The original image in this case does not have a *.gif extension.

If it did, you could snip just the part before the ".gif" and then
include the .gif in your link.

For example, let's say the original image was:
http://an-example-domain.com/an-example-image.gif

Then you could snip just this:
http://an-example-domain.com/an-example-image

This would give you a snipurl like this:
http://snipr.com/mycode

But you could share it like this:
http://snipr.com/mycode.gif

But in this case the original file itself is not an image.

Secondly, as per HTTP technology, as long as you have the <img
src="XYZ">, the XYZ can be any file extension you wish. As long as it
is valid image content the browser will show it as an image.

Hope this helps?
