NAME

       gif2apng -  convert animated GIF to animated PNG files

SYNOPSIS

       gif2apng <INPUT *.gif> [<OUTPUT *.png>] [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Progrmam converts animated GIF into animated PNG format. Wu64 quantization is used for
       true-color files. Transparency is handled either using a threshold, or composed over
       chosen background color.

       The Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) file format is an extension to the Portable
       Network Graphics (PNG) specification. It allows for animated PNG files that work similarly
       to animated GIF files, while retaining backward compatibility with non-animated PNG files
       and adding support for 8-bit transparency and 24-bit images.
