How to reduce the size of an APNG
To reduce an APNG's size, upload the animated PNG, pick a smaller-file or aggressive preset, and export. The optimizer merges duplicate frames, caps the frame rate, and reduces colors to shrink the file while keeping it in PNG format rather than converting it to GIF or video.
APNG carries frame timing, looping behavior, and full-frame image data, so plain static PNG compression is not enough. This tool handles those animation-specific tradeoffs together to get real size savings.
- Upload one animated PNG (APNG)
- Choose a lossless, smaller-file, or aggressive preset
- Export a lighter APNG that stays in PNG format
What the presets change
The presets guide common tradeoffs instead of hiding them. Lossless cleanup keeps color detail, smaller-file mode reduces colors and frame rate modestly, and aggressive mode pushes harder when size matters more than subtle fidelity.
All decoding, frame cleanup, and re-encoding happen locally in your browser, so the animated PNG is never sent to a server. That makes it safe for private or unreleased animations you need to keep on-device.
