How to convert a video to APNG
To convert a video to APNG, load a short MP4 or WebM clip, trim it to the range you want, and set the output width, frame rate, and loop behavior. The tool extracts the frames and encodes them into a single animated PNG you can download. Frame extraction and APNG encoding both run locally in your browser, so the clip is never uploaded.
APNG keeps the animation inside the PNG format, which can render cleaner gradients and crisp UI captures than GIF and fits ecosystems that already use transparent PNG assets. Keeping clips short and the width modest keeps the exported APNG manageable, since longer or larger animations grow quickly in file size.
- Upload a short MP4 or WebM clip
- Trim the start and end of the range
- Set width, FPS, and loop mode
- Export the animated PNG and download it
When APNG beats GIF for short loops
Animated PNG is a good choice when the workflow should stay in the PNG family, such as UI captures, icon-style loops, and small transparent assets where GIF's limited color handling shows. APNG generally renders smoother gradients and cleaner edges for these cases.
This page keeps the input side simple by accepting ordinary short video clips and turning them into APNG without a second editor. It is optimized for short clips; long videos are heavier to process in the browser and produce large files, so they are not the intended workflow here.
