GIF to APNG Converter
Convert animated GIFs to high-quality APNG format. High quality and 100% free.
Upgrade Your Animations. Ditch the Grain.
GIFs are relics. They ruled the early web, but they show their age. Grainy colors. Jagged edges. Massive file sizes. The format is over 35 years old. It fails to meet modern standards.
APNG is the superior alternative. Animated Portable Network Graphics. It retains everything you love about PNG, like transparency, quality, precision, and adds motion. Use this free APNG maker to convert GIF to APNG instantly. Securely.

Format Showdown: GIF vs. APNG vs. MP4
X The Legacy Formats
- GIF:Locked to 256 colors. No transparency. Grainy.
- MP4:Great for video, but zero transparency. Overkill for stickers.
- WebP:Good compression, but lacks APNG's universal Apple support.
✓ Why APNG Wins
- True Color:Supports 24-bit color. Images look photorealistic.
- Alpha Channel:8-bit transparency allows for smooth shadows and glow.
- Efficiency:Better compression often yields smaller files than GIF.
The Risk of Online Converters

Browser Assets
APNG works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It is a safe, high-quality default for web animation.
How APNG Outsmarts GIF
Compatibility scares users. APNG solves this. The file structure mimics standard PNG. The first frame acts as a static cover image.
If an ancient browser (like Internet Explorer) loads an APNG, it sees a static picture. It does not break.
Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) recognize the animation chunks. They play the video. You get rich features on modern devices and safety on legacy systems. It is the perfect balance.
Troubleshooting
File is Static?
Some image viewers only show the first frame of an APNG. This is normal. Drag the file into a web browser like Chrome or Safari to see the animation play.
File Size Increased?
GIF is lossy; APNG is often lossless. If your file grew, it means we preserved the quality. To reduce size, try resizing the dimensions before conversion.
