Description
APNG is an extension to the PNG format that adds the support for animation. APNG is backward-compatible with PNG, so any decoder that can read PNG should be able to display an APNG file as a standard PNG file ignoring APNG-specific chunks.
File extension
.apng, .png
Technical details
APNG files support 8-bit transparency and images with the 24-bit color depth. APNG uses PNG specifications but adds three extra chunks: the animation control chunk, the frame control chunk, and the frame data chunk.
Associated programs
Most web browsers including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, IE, etc.
