A high-performance Swift framework for loading and displaying APNG (Animated PNG) images in iOS and macOS apps.
What is APNGKit?
APNGKit is a Swift framework for loading and displaying APNG (Animated Portable Network Graphics) images on iOS and macOS. It solves the problem of using low-quality GIFs for animations by providing support for APNG, which offers 24-bit color and 8-bit transparency in a comparable file size. The framework delivers high performance and a developer-friendly API for seamless integration into Apple ecosystem apps.
iOS and macOS developers who need to display high-quality animated images in their apps, particularly those looking to replace GIFs with better alternatives. It's also suitable for developers working on media-rich applications like messaging apps, social platforms, or creative tools.
Developers choose APNGKit because it provides a native, performant solution for APNG support on Apple platforms with an API that feels like part of the system frameworks. Its comprehensive error handling, streaming loading, and Interface Builder compatibility make it more robust and easier to use than implementing APNG support from scratch.
