Quick answer: To convert APNG to PNG, add the APNG file to the iHateFiles APNG to PNG converter and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. A straight swap between two raster formats, at full resolution.
Should you convert APNG to PNG?
A safe conversion: APNG and PNG are both lossless, so this is a change of container rather than a change to the picture.
Nothing is discarded
APNG and PNG are both lossless, so every pixel survives the move intact. Convert back and forth as often as you like; the image does not degrade.
PNG holds one frame
An animated APNG becomes a single still PNG: the first frame, with the rest discarded. If you wanted the movement, convert to a format that keeps it instead.

What usually goes wrong
About the APNG. Converting a single still image to APNG just gives you a PNG, because there is nothing to animate.
About the PNG. People save photographs as PNG and wonder why an email bounces. A photo that is 400 KB as a JPG is routinely 4 MB as a PNG, because lossless compression cannot do much with the noise in a real photograph.
How to convert APNG to PNG
- Add your APNG file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to PNG.
- Press convert and the PNG file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert APNG to PNG?
Open this page, add your APNG file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this APNG to PNG converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Will converting to PNG lose quality?
PNG is lossless, so this step throws nothing away. If the original was already a lossy format, the damage it did cannot be undone, but nothing further is lost.
Can I convert several APNG files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
