Turn animated GIFs into APNG (animated PNG) files that play in every modern browser - with room for full colour and smooth, soft-edged transparency. Smaller files? Try GIF to WebP.
Want to see the frames one by one? The GIF Frame Extractor lists each frame and delay.
GIF is limited to 256 colours and on/off transparency, so edges look jagged.
APNG is a PNG that animates: full colour and smooth alpha transparency, and it plays in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
It is the format behind animated stickers on many platforms and is handy for UI animations.

APNG is a PNG with extra animation chunks - .png is its standard extension, so it opens everywhere.
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and most modern apps. Older viewers show the first frame.
