✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, the manual name is apng2gif(1) and it's all about turning APNG animated images into GIF files 💖

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

apng2gif <INPUT *.png> <OUTPUT *.gif> [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so apng2gif is the program that converts APNG into animated GIF format, and it is literally iconic 👑

The Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) format is an extension to the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) spec. It makes animated PNGs that work a lot like animated GIFs, but it still stays backward compatible with regular non-animated PNGs. On top of that, it adds support for 8-bit transparency and 24-bit images 🌈

Default run values are /t 128, with no background color. If you run it with no command line arguments, you get a short syntax help so you're not lost 🫶

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • /b COLOR — the background blend color 🎀 Format is #RGB in hex, like #808080, or three decimal values, like 128 128 128. If you use this option, /t gets ignored, so pick wisely 🙈

With this option, /b #ff0000 or /b 255 0 0 sets the background to red, so partially transparent pixels get blended over red 🍓

/b #ff0000
/b 255 0 0
  • /t LEVEL — the transparency threshold level, between 0..155 🦋 The default is 128. Pixels with an alpha level less than 128 become fully transparent ✨
