Common Problems with .ajg Files

⚠️ Cannot open .ajg files outside of ActivePresenter.
The .ajg format is proprietary and only supported by ActivePresenter. Use ActivePresenter's export function to convert to a common format like PNG or JPG if you need to use the image elsewhere.
⚠️ .ajg file is not recognized by other image editors.
This is expected behavior. .ajg files are specifically for ActivePresenter's internal use. Export the graphic from ActivePresenter into a standard format (e.g., PNG) for use in other applications.
