How this should help in practice

These sections explain the job in plain language and set expectations for what the tool should do well.

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.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Is the APNG Optimizer free?

Yes. The APNG Optimizer is free with no signup and no watermark, and it runs in your browser with nothing to install.

How do I reduce the size of an APNG?

Upload the animated PNG and pick a smaller-file or aggressive preset. The optimizer merges duplicate frames, caps the frame rate, and reduces colors to compress the APNG while keeping it in PNG format.

Does this keep the APNG format?

Yes. The export stays APNG, so the result remains an animated PNG rather than being converted to a GIF or a video file.

Does this upload my APNG to a server?

No. The animation decode, frame cleanup, and re-encode all happen locally in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

Will this work on a normal static PNG?

No. This page is for animated PNG files only. For static PNG compression, use a PNG quantizer instead.
