Convert an animated PNG (.apng) into an animated GIF, entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded — decoding the APNG and building the GIF both happen on your device.
How to use it
- Upload an animated PNG (
.apngor a.pngwith APNG frames). - Wait a moment while it's decoded and re-encoded.
- Download the generated
.giffile.
Why convert APNG to GIF?
APNG isn't supported everywhere — some chat apps, older image viewers, and platforms that accept uploads only recognize animated GIF. Converting gives you a file every browser and app can play, at the cost of GIF's smaller 256-color-per-frame palette and all-or-nothing (no partial) transparency.
Frame timing
Every frame of the source APNG is kept, and each frame's own delay is read straight off the file and written into the GIF, so it plays back at the same speed the APNG did rather than a fixed rate.
Transparency
GIF only supports fully transparent or fully opaque pixels — any semi-transparent pixel in the APNG (a soft shadow edge, a fading overlay) is snapped to one or the other during conversion. Solid, non-transparent artwork converts without any visible difference.
Tips
- Need to go the other way? Use the GIF to APNG Converter to build an APNG from a GIF.
- Building a GIF from scratch instead of converting one? Use the GIF Maker to turn photos or a video clip into a GIF directly.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding the APNG and encoding the GIF both happen in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
