    Questions

    What is an APNG?

    An animated PNG: a PNG file with extra frames that browsers play like a GIF, with full colour and smooth transparency. Some apps and sites only take GIFs, so this converts them.

    Will the transparency survive?

    Yes, but GIF has only fully transparent or fully opaque pixels, so soft edges become hard. For a coloured background behind them, use the result in a video instead with GIF to MP4.

    Why does a GIF have only 256 colours?

    GIF stores each frame with a palette of at most 256 colours. When a new GIF is written, the best 256 colours for the whole animation are chosen; dithering mixes neighbouring colours to smooth out gradients.

    Are my images uploaded anywhere?

    No. Your images are opened and processed on your device, and the results are saved straight back to it. Nothing is uploaded. How to check.

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
