Animated PNG’s anyone?

[Toby Pitman]

Just wondering if anyone has ever checked out the APNG format. It’s just like animated GIF’s but uses PNG’s instead resulting in much higher image quality.

Although it’s unofficial both Firefox and Opera support it. If your on Firefox now check this example.

Spinning Firefox Logo

There’s even an add-on for Firefox to create your own here.

Pretty cool eh!

I wonder if IE will ever support this though :(

Look how long they took to fix the alpha transparency on PNGs’

Gonna try to make one soon, its like a little treat firefox users can get on your site ^^
