Discover the Wonderful World of APNG

What is APNG?

APNG, short for Animated Portable Network Graphics, is an image format that extends PNG to support animated images. Similar to GIFs, APNGs allow for multiple frames within a single file, creating animated effects. However, APNGs offer several advantages over GIFs, including support for more colors and partial alpha transparency.

Benefits of APNG

• Supports more colors than GIFs, resulting in more vibrant and detailed animations.
• Uses partial alpha transparency, enabling smooth transitions and transparency effects.
• Can be played or viewed on Windows 10 and 11 PCs using software such as Firefox, Chrome, and Microsoft Edge.
