GIFs have remained so ubiquitous, spawning legions of apps, memes and NSFW Tumblrs, that it can be surprising to remember the bitmap image format is more than 25 years old. When compared to newer file formats, however, animated GIFs--with their limited palette, artifacts and distorted edges--really show their age. The apngasm Kickstarter wants to give designers more options by creating a simple editor for animated PNG (APNG) and developers libraries to integrate APNG support. The file format works similarly to GIF but offers better colors, image quality and the flexibility of PNG images. But APNG supporters face several major hurdles, including lack of support from Web sites and the original group that developed PNG.
