How do I view and save jpeg images downloaded from a website on my iPad Air iOS 9.2.1 Or iPhone 6 iOS 9.2.1
it automatically states save to Dropbox. But I can't view it in Dropbox. Is there another app I can use to view and save jpegs in?
iPad Air, iOS 9.2.1
TThat's exactly where I want to save it but i'm not given the option.
ON the website I go from this
To this
And then i can't view it. Is there some setting I need to change so it goes direct to my photos instead?
It should save to the Photos app as a default - do you have a setting sending it directly to dropbox - in the dropbox app perhaps?
You can save them to the Photos App directly. Usually you tap and hold on the image itself to get a menu of options, one of which should be "Save Image"
This option saves the images directly to the Photos App.
I Don't really know how to use drop box. I haven't set it up to automatically receive photos And not sure what to do in settings, if it is set as the defaul To undo it?
i Don't think you can view jepegs in Dropbox anyway, so no point saving it there.
Can you delete the app? You won't lose anything saved in Dropbox by deleting the app
Then try to save an image like Phil0124 advises above
What others are talking about is viewing pictures on web pages and saving them to your iPad. Your issue is related to downloading photos from a photography website that sells their pictures. It looks like they use Dropbox to store the photos and those aren't really JPG files. They are ZIP files. Your JPG photo(s) are in the ZIP file(s) and must be extracted out of the ZIP. ZIP files will not go to Photos app.
What happens if you tap "Open in Dropbox"?
That makes sense. This Is what I get when it saves into Dropbox ...
You may need to do that on a computer which has some kind of zip software running - there are free options from WinZip and 7 Zip that will allow you to unzip the files
Not sure you can accomplish that on the iPad
There are some iOS apps you can use to extract ZIP files. Here's one (looks like this app supports cloud storage, a perfect solution for you): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/izip-zip-unzip-unrar-tool/id413971331?mt=8
I don't use any of those iOS apps. I find it easier to do it on my PC.
I don't know about Apple computers, Windows has been capable of opening/extracting ZIP files since 2002 (Windows XP). No additional software needed.
That's not a JPEG, that's a Zip file.
You'll need an App capable of decompressing the Zip file to get to the image.
At this point you only get Dropbox as an option because it's the only App you have that can handle a Zip file.
There are Zip opening apps in the App Store. Try WinZip its free.

Once you have winZip installed, try downloading the picture again. You should get an extra "Open In" option in Safari.
Once the Zipped archive is open in Winzip or any other Zip app, you should get a list of files inside you can view directly in WinZip, or you can copy them to your camera roll using the 
icon
I Downloaded the app, then the website offered that as an option to download to. It worked and i was able to save it into my photos.
thanks for your help!
