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.

About MP4
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a container format standardised by ISO. It usually holds H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio, and it can also carry subtitles and chapter markers.
It is the most widely supported video format: phones, browsers, smart TVs and video sites all play it.
The video inside an MP4 is almost always compressed with a lossy codec, so every re-encode loses a little quality.
Why convert video to MP4? Almost every device, browser and platform plays it, so an MP4 almost never needs a second conversion.
