What is an .APNG file?
APNG files are images saved in the Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) format, an extension of the standard PNG format that supports animation. Introduced in 2004, APNG supports storing multiple frames in a single file, creating short animations while retaining the lossless quality, transparency, and color depth of standard PNG images. Unlike GIFs, APNG supports 24-bit color and 8-bit transparency, producing higher-quality animations with more accurate colors and smoother transitions.
You may encounter APNG files when downloading animated web graphics, stickers, or icons, or when receiving content shared through apps and platforms that support the format. File Viewer Plus can open APNG files, play the animations, and inspect their metadata.
