Open .ART Files


The .art extension was used by several art programs and also by AOL for images. It can be tricky to open these days. Probably the quickest thing to try is downloading AOL’s desktop software. It’s free at this link: http://discover.aol.com/products-and-services/aol-desktop-for-windows
From what I can tell, it will still open .art files. I can’t test it out myself, since I don’t have any .art files. Once AOL Desktop has installed, click “File” in the upper right corner and choose “Open” from the drop-down menu.

You should be able to select your files to open.

You can then view the image in a photo viewer.

You may be able to click “Save” and save it as the more popular .jpeg file extension.

If not, you could try making the photo full-screen and the grabbing a screen shot to edit in a program like paint and eventually save as a .jpeg.

I hope this works for you!
