Frequently asked questions

Why use APNG instead of GIF?

GIF is capped at 256 colors and has 1-bit transparency, so soft edges get a halo. APNG carries a full 8-bit alpha channel and 24-bit color, which is why gradients and drop shadows survive.

Can I make an APNG from one image?

Yes. Hand it a single photo and pick zoom, pan, or pulse, and the frames are generated from that one source instead of a sequence you supply.

Where do animated PNGs actually play?

Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge all render APNG in an img tag. The gaps are older software: some chat clients and image editors still only decode the first frame.

Does the file get bigger than a GIF?

Usually yes for photographic frames, because APNG stores full color. For flat graphics with few colors it often lands smaller, and it always looks cleaner at the edges.
