GIF to APNG converter

The same animation without GIF’s 256-colour ceiling — full-colour APNG with true transparency, made on your own device.

One animated GIF · converted to APNG (24-bit colour, real transparency), on your device

Runs in your browser. Files are never uploaded — you can go offline after the page loads.

How to use the GIF to APNG

  1. Drop one animated GIF.
  2. It is re-encoded as APNG — animation, timing and loop kept.
  3. Download the .apng and watch it play in the page.

Easy to use

Drop files, pick options, download. Whole folders at once, no signup, no daily limit.

Best quality

The same engines the professionals use — SVGO, resvg, MozJPEG, libwebp, libavif — compiled to run in your browser.

Private & secure

Files are processed on your device and never uploaded. Close the tab and nothing remains anywhere.

The same animation, without the 1987 limits

GIF's constraints — 256 colours, all-or-nothing transparency — are why animated gradients band and edges look cut out with scissors. APNG is what GIF would be if designed today: full 24-bit colour, a real alpha channel, the same frame-by-frame animation, and native playback in every modern browser. Telegram and LINE stickers are APNG for exactly this reason.

The conversion keeps your GIF's timing and loop untouched. File size is the honest trade: graphics often come out smaller, photographic animations can grow — full colour costs bytes, and the quality jump is usually worth it.

Frequently asked questions

Why APNG over GIF?

GIF is stuck at 256 colours and 1-bit transparency, which is why gradients band and edges look jagged. APNG stores full 24-bit colour with a real alpha channel — the same animation, visibly cleaner — and every modern browser plays it. Stickers (Telegram, LINE) are APNG territory too.

Is APNG bigger than GIF?

Sometimes — full colour costs bytes. For graphics with few colours it is often smaller; for photographic GIFs expect a similar or larger file in exchange for the quality jump.

Your files never leave your device

Most online converters upload your file to a server. InfyTool ships the actual encoders to your browser as WebAssembly instead, so processing happens inside your tab — faster for batches, and nothing to delete afterwards.

  • No upload, ever. Turn off Wi-Fi after the page loads and every tool keeps working.
  • No limits. No file-size cap, no queue, no watermark, no account.
  • Runs on your CPU. Batches use several cores in parallel; nothing is throttled.
