Why Convert GIF to APNG?
APNG (Animated Portable Network Graphics) is a modern image format that offers significant advantages over traditional GIFs. While GIFs are limited to 256 colors and often produce large file sizes with poor quality, APNG supports 24-bit color with alpha transparency, resulting in higher quality animations with smaller file sizes.
Better Performance
APNG files are typically smaller than GIFs with the same content, leading to faster loading times.
Higher Quality
24-bit color support means millions of colors instead of GIF's 256, resulting in smoother gradients.
Alpha Transparency
Partial transparency allows for smooth edges and overlay effects that GIFs can't achieve.
