Frequently asked questions

What is the APNG format?

It's an animation format that extends PNG to hold multiple frames. The quality is good, but some services show only the first frame, so people often convert it to GIF, which plays anywhere.

Will the quality drop?

It can. GIF holds at most 256 colors per frame, so color-rich APNGs may end up with simplified colors. For simple artwork or UI recordings, the difference is barely noticeable.

Are the playback speed and looping preserved?

The frame timing is kept intact, and the resulting GIF plays in an infinite loop.

Why is the media engine downloaded?

Animation conversion needs a processing engine that isn't built into browsers. About 32MB is downloaded once on first use, then served from cache, so subsequent conversions start right away.

Are my files sent anywhere?

No. Your files never leave your device. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
