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 is my MP4 file so large? MP4 video is already compressed with H.264 or H.265, so a lower bitrate or resolution shrinks the file at the cost of some quality.
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.
