Why convert a GIF to APNG?

APNG supports full 24-bit colour and a proper alpha channel, so animations look smoother and transparent edges stay clean — without GIF’s 256-colour banding.

Does APNG work everywhere?

All modern browsers play APNG, and the file uses the .png family. A few older tools still expect a GIF, so keep the original if you need maximum compatibility.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The whole conversion runs in your browser using your device's own processor. Your files are never sent anywhere.

GIF caps every frame at 256 colours, which shows up as banding and rough edges. APNG keeps full colour and real transparency, so the same animation looks noticeably cleaner. This converts your GIF to an APNG in the browser.
