About GIF
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) dates from 1987. An animated GIF is a sequence of frames, each limited to a palette of at most 256 colours, and it has no sound.
Short looping animations, reactions and simple graphics on websites, in chats and on social media.
Because of the 256-colour limit and frame-by-frame storage, animated GIFs are large and show banding on photographic video.
Convert GIF to Animated PNG online free, no account required — Animated PNG is an animated PNG with full colour and transparency.
Change GIF to Animated PNG without losing quality — convert GIF to Animated PNG free in your browser.
Why does my GIF look blurry and washed out? The format allows at most 256 colours per frame, so photos and gradients lose detail — a real image or video format keeps them.
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 convert an animation to APNG? It keeps GIF-style looping but with full colour and transparency, so gradients and photos survive.
