If you convert static GIF to static PNG, 99% of the time you'll get a smaller file. That was the original goal of PNG project, and it succeeded: static GIFs disappeared completely. Converting animated GIF to animated PNG leads to similar filesize savings.
- innagadadavida 9y agoVideo formats like webp exploit temporal and spatial similarities to get efficiency. Gif/apng do not. This reduces bandwidth costs and file sizes very much.
- maxst 9y agoDownload a dozen random GIF cinemagraphs, and try gif2webp and gif2apng on them.
