I created a GIF in Cyberlink PowerDirector, it works in a browser and on my desktop (Windows 11) but when I try to open in PS 24.4.0 I get this error: Could not open "file" becase decompression error occured. Saved a random gif from the web and it opens fine.

Windows

PowerDirector is probably creating a GIF from video or GIFV.

Try this online converter.

Trying that now, but wouldn't it have the .gifv file type if that was the case?

ETA: that worked, thanks. 🙂
