FAQs

APNG (Animated PNG) is an extension of the PNG format that supports animation. Unlike GIF, APNG supports 24-bit color (16 million colors) and full alpha transparency.
GIF is limited to 256 colors and 1-bit transparency, causing color banding and white halos. APNG avoids these issues with full color and alpha support.
APNG is supported in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Internet Explorer does not support APNG but that browser is no longer supported by Microsoft.
This tool extracts all GIF frames at equal timing. The converted APNG may play at a slightly different speed — adjust with a dedicated APNG editor if needed.
