Convert APNG
Animated PNG. Encode writes a single-frame APNG; the browser decodes the file. Every pair below runs in the browser. The file is not uploaded. Stills use jSquash (MozJPEG, OxiPNG, WebP, AVIF) and the canvas in this tab. There is no upload bar because there is no server to receive the bytes.
This hub is the index, not the workbench. Each conversion is its own URL so a search for “APNG to something” can land on a page that only does that job. The file picker on those pages expects APNG when you are leaving this format, or produces APNG when you are arriving. A generic dropdown still exists under Video convert and Audio convert if you would rather pick the destination after you drop the file.
You can check the same way on every pair: open the network panel, drop a APNG file, convert it. You should see this origin. You shouldn't see a POST of the file. Google Analytics, if it's on, is page views, not your APNG bytes. If a tool needs a server, it isn't on this site.
This site can read it. This site can write it. Engine: canvas.
Convert from APNG
- APNG to JPGThe usual photographic JPEG. No transparency.
- APNG to PNGLossless stills, including transparency.
- APNG to WebPA smaller web still that can keep transparency.
- APNG to AVIFOften smaller than WebP at the same viewing size.
- APNG to BMPUncompressed bitmap. Huge, simple, still used in scanning.
- APNG to ICOWindows icon file. Written here as a single PNG-in-ICO.
- APNG to TIFFCommon in scanning and print. Decoded and written in this tab.
- APNG to TGATarga stills. Handled through the same local FFmpeg build as video.
- APNG to PPMNetpbm colour pixmap. Useful for pipelines and old UNIX tools.
- APNG to PGMNetpbm greyscale. Same local encoder path as PPM.
- APNG to PBMNetpbm 1-bit bitmap.
