APNG
APNG (Animated Portable Network Graphics) is an extension of the PNG format that supports frame-by-frame animation, created as a superior alternative to GIF. It offers full 24-bit color and 8-bit alpha transparency per frame, producing smooth, high-quality animations. APNG files are widely supported in modern browsers and are ideal for animated icons, stickers, and lightweight web animations.
GIF
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is one of the most recognized image formats on the internet, developed by CompuServe in 1987. It supports up to 256 colors per frame and lossless LZW compression, and is famous for its animation capability, making it ideal for simple looping clips and reaction images. GIF remains enormously popular for sharing short animations and memes across social media and messaging platforms.
