:The best way is to use the [http://apngdis.sourceforge.net/ APNG Disassembler] program.  First, put your anipng into its own folder, then drag it into the program.  I usually leave the output prefix as the default "apngframe", but you can change it if you want. Then hit convert, and when it is done, your folder will have each individual still .png image in the anipng, along with .txt files that specify the delay for each frame in the original anipng file.  Now you are ready to remake the anipng - for best results, use [http://apngasm.sourceforge.net/ ANPG Assembler] as it will use those .txt files to input the delay automatically. First, locate the frame you want for unsupported browsers, and drag it into the program. Then select all of the apngframe files, including the frame you selected earlier - I usually sort the folder by "Type" so this is easier - and drag them as one pile into the program as well. Then make sure you have "Skip the first frame" selected in Playback Settings, hit Convert, and you are good to go!

:FYI, the Sandstorm file you linked to above actually is one I fixed several days ago already, but the other ones do need fixing. Let me know if you have any other questions, and I will be happy to help. [[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] ([[User talk:Jdthebud|talk]]) 17:39, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

== Card scans ==
As the upload media page says, jpgs are supposed to be used for "scans such as cards from the Pokémon TCG", not pngs. Additionally, any images of cards you ever upload need to be either an official image or a scan of a card that you have scanned yourself, not simply a format switched poor quality image just to have it be a different format. High quality scans will come eventually, and we don't need to replace images just to need to replace them again later.
