- Description
- Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is a file format which extends the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) specification to permit animated images that work similarly to animated GIF files, while supporting 24-bit images and 8-bit transparency not available for GIFs. It also retains backward compatibility with non-animated PNG files.
- The Free Lossless Image Format File (FLIF) is a digital image file format designed to provide high-quality lossless compression for images. Unlike lossy formats like JPEG, FLIF preserves all the original image data without any degradation, ensuring that images are compressed without sacrificing any detail or clarity. This makes FLIF an ideal choice for applications where image quality is paramount, such as digital archives, professional photography, and graphic design. FLIF also incorporates advanced features such as support for high dynamic range (HDR).
