What am I saving when I click Save As in the menu?
While you’re working, your pages are stored as Ript files, which means that you can only view them using Ript. When you use Save As, Ript changes them to the .jpeg format. Jpeg files are a standard type of image file that people can view using a variety of programs. Every computer can open a jpeg file, so you can be sure your friends and family will be able to enjoy your page.
You cannot edit a .jpeg file in Ript once you’ve created it, but you’ll still have the original Ript page to work with after you create the .jpeg.
What browsers does Ript work with?
At this time, Ript works on a PC with Internet Explorer 6.x and higher. You can also Rip some images from Firefox.
Is there a Mac version?
We love Macs and the Mac community, but we’re a small team and have not built a version of Ript that will run on the Mac OS. If you're interested in trying Ript out and you have a newer Mac, there is always BootCamp, Parallels and VMWare Fusion. Our not-so-secret ambition is for Ript to be so wildly successful that we can justify the additional development costs of building a Mac-native version.
How do I get the new version of Ript?
You don’t need to do a thing to get the latest version of Ript. Whenever you launch Ript, if you’re connected to the Internet, Ript will check for a new version from our Updater Service. If there is a new version available, Ript will download and install it automatically.

Why do I get an error when I try to use the Email feature?

How can I move my Ript files to another computer?
