APNG Features

APNG supports 24-bit true color with 8-bit alpha transparency, delivering photographic quality animations with smooth semi-transparent edges. Unlike GIF's 256 color limit, APNG handles millions of colors, perfect for high-quality animated logos, UI elements, and photographic animations with professional results.

Each frame maintains PNG's legendary quality with lossless compression. Perfect for pixel art, screenshots, diagrams, and any content requiring exact color reproduction. APNG preserves sharp edges, text clarity, and fine details that get lost in GIF or lossy formats.

APNG files display as static PNG in unsupported browsers, ensuring content is always visible. This graceful fallback means you can use APNG without worrying about compatibility - users either see the animation or a high-quality still frame, never a broken image.

Advanced inter-frame compression stores only pixel differences between frames, dramatically reducing file size for animations with static backgrounds. Combined with PNG's excellent compression, APNG files are often smaller than equivalent quality GIFs while looking significantly better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use APNG when you need more than 256 colors, smooth transparency, or lossless quality. It's perfect for UI animations, animated logos with gradients, technical diagrams requiring precision, or any animation where GIF's limitations are noticeable. APNG excels with graphics content rather than photographic material.
The beauty of APNG is its PNG compatibility - unsupported browsers display the first frame as a static PNG image. This means your content is always visible, just not animated. Users get either the full animation or a high-quality still image, never a broken file or error.
For simple graphics with few colors, APNG and GIF are similar in size. For complex images, APNG is often smaller than GIF while offering vastly superior quality. The inter-frame compression in APNG is particularly effective for animations with static backgrounds or limited motion areas.
APNG offers lossless compression and wider browser support with PNG fallback, making it ideal for graphics requiring perfect quality. WebP provides better compression with lossy options and is better for photographic content. Choose APNG for UI elements and graphics, WebP for photos and general web content.
APNG supports up to 48-bit color (16 bits per channel RGB) plus 16-bit alpha channel for transparency. In practice, 24-bit color (8 bits per channel) with 8-bit alpha is standard and provides 16.7 million colors with 256 transparency levels - more than enough for any animation need.
