It's hard to not be more efficient than GIF.
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoTrue, but GIF is only super-inefficient because it's used for video despite not being designed for it, I think.
- creshal 12y agoThat's one problem, and APNG won't solve it, because both use lossless compression not ideal for videos. Apart from that, GIF is almost 30 years old. Compression standards improved a lot since.
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoOh, of course APNG won't solve it for the same reason. But it could still offer (perhaps marginally) better compression.
- jahewson 12y agoThe big difference is that GIF uses LZW compression which is less efficient than DEFLATE (i.e. ZLIB) which is used in PNG.
