WebP support (including animation) was added to the most recent major version of Safari, meaning WebP has similarly widespread support.

- FalconSensei 5y agoThat is a way better solution, although APNG didn't help much for my test in terms of data, a 1.8mb gif was converted to a 1.5mb apng, not even worth my time to google gif to apng converter. Webp worked well though, resulting in a 300kb webp. Might try to start using it edit: nevermind, webp doesn't work on whatsapp.
- dstaley 5y agoOne interesting aspect of WebP support (or lack thereof) is that it doesn't work in Slack or Discord, even when those are running in a supported browser. I think things like this are inhibiting adoption of newer formats.
- astrange 5y ago> Animated PNG is supported in every single modern browser, and degrades gracefully (the first frame is at least rendered.) That’s part graceful and part a security hole. It means you can hide any image you want if moderation tools don’t show past the first frame.
