Programs to Create Animated PNG Images

The animation in compressed files is booming, so we bring you the five programs to animate PNG files (APNG creator). To perform the animation, you can use images in almost any format and then export them with the APNG extension. The platforms offer a preview of the animation, let you set the animation time (speed it up or slow it down), choose a background color, and determine the loop, among many other functions.

JapngEditor

JapngEditor is a program for creating animated PNG images. The environment lets you use JPG or PNG images to create APNGs. The program has two very useful functions: a preview of the animation and configuration parameters such as choosing the background color and setting the position (X-Y). You'll also find basic options like setting the animation time and creating a loop. It is available for Windows operating systems (it includes Java libraries).

APNG Assembler

If you're looking for a very simple platform to create animated PNG files, you should definitely download APNG Assembler. The platform uses PNG and TGA images to create APNG files. Some of the environment's functions include adding images as frames, adjusting speed, and setting the number of loops. Importantly, to create animations, all images must have the same size and aspect ratio. You'll find the program for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Animated PNG Maker

Animated PNG Maker is a powerful online APNG creator. With the platform you can load up to 400 images (maximum 80MB) to create animated PNGs (maximum render 5MB). You need to upload images with the same size and aspect ratio for the animation to work.

Animizer

We continue with online platforms for creating animated PNGs. But unlike the other web platforms, Animizer has several advanced features that make it a very good option. The only limitation we found is that it only lets us insert 7 images.

APNG to GIF

We'll finish with APNG to GIF, a powerful platform that converts your APNGs into animated GIFs. The environment uses Wu64 quantization to maintain transparencies and background color, among other introduced effects. You'll find it for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
