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
