APNGKit is a high-performance Swift framework for loading, decoding, and displaying Animated PNG (APNG) images on iOS and macOS. It offers a delightful high-level API so developers can play animated PNGs with better quality than GIFs.
Use cases
- display animated png images in an ios app
- play apng animations with transparency on macos
- replace animated gifs with higher quality apng
- decode apng files in swift
- show animated images with 24-bit color in an apple app
When to choose
- you need high-quality animated images with alpha transparency on iOS or macOS
- you want a simple Swift API for APNG playback
- your assets are APNG and you need performant decoding
When to avoid
- you only need GIF or WebP animation support
- you target platforms other than Apple's
- you need image editing or encoding rather than display
