APNG (Animated PNG) is a modern animated format that combines PNG's lossless compression with animation support. It offers better compression (20-40% smaller), supports millions of colors instead of GIF's 256-color limit, and provides better transparency.

APNG delivers smaller file sizes, better color fidelity, and smoother gradients compared to GIF. If your audience uses modern browsers and you want higher quality with smaller files, APNG is the better choice.

Yes. All animation frames from your GIF are preserved with the same timing, frame delays, and loop settings. No frames are lost or skipped during conversion.

APNG is widely supported in modern browsers (Chrome 59+, Firefox 3+, Safari 16+, Edge 79+). However, older browsers and most email clients don't support APNG animation and will show only the first frame. Use GIF for maximum compatibility.

Usually yes. APNG uses more efficient compression than GIF, typically reducing file sizes by 20-40% while maintaining or improving animation quality thanks to better color support.

Yes. GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, which causes banding in gradients. APNG supports millions of colors, resulting in smooth gradients and photorealistic animations without color loss.

Yes. Each frame's duration and delay settings are preserved exactly as they were in the original GIF file. Your APNG animation will play at the same speed.

Completely private. All conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device or get uploaded to any server.

Yes. Select or drag multiple GIF files at once. All animations will be converted to APNG, and you can download them individually or as a ZIP archive.

This is expected behavior. Older browsers, email clients, and some social media platforms don't support APNG animation. They'll show the first frame as a static image. For universal compatibility, keep GIF.
