Animated Portable Network Graphics
Sign in to saveAlso known as Animated PNG
Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is a file format which extends the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) specification to permit animated images that work similarly to animated GIF files, while supporting images with a higher color depth and full alpha transparency not available for GIFs. It also retains backward compatibility with non-animated PNG files. It was developed by the Mozilla Foundation in 2004.
