About Animated PNG
APNG (Animated PNG) extends PNG with animation frames. A viewer that does not support APNG shows its first frame as an ordinary PNG.
Animated stickers and web animations that need more than GIF's 256 colours or smooth transparency; all major browsers display it.
An APNG is usually much larger than a video of the same clip, and it has no sound.

Why won’t my APNG animation play in the app I posted it to? Support outside browsers is patchy, so many platforms silently show only the first frame or nothing at all.
About QuickTime (MOV)
MOV is the QuickTime container format from Apple. MP4 was based on it, so the two share the same structure, but MOV is also used for editing codecs such as Apple ProRes.
iPhones and many cameras record MOV, and editors such as Final Cut Pro export it.
Outside Apple software, MOV files that use ProRes or other professional codecs often do not play without extra software.
Why convert video to MOV? Mac-based editing is the reason: Final Cut Pro and QuickTime handle it natively, including professional codecs such as ProRes.
