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 won't my MOV file play on Windows or Android? QuickTime containers often carry Apple-specific codecs such as ProRes, so converting to MP4 with H.264 makes the video play everywhere.
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.
What changes when you convert MOV to Animated PNG
- The MOV is re-encoded into Animated PNG at the default quality settings, so the result looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
- Animated PNG cannot hold sound, so the audio track of the MOV is dropped.
