    I remember MNG and never understood why APNG wasn’t officially recognized. I didn’t know it was widely supported already. Why do people still create and use GIF in the internet, if there is a superior format?

      At least at one point, GIF89a (animated GIF) support was universal among browsers, whereas animated PNG support was patchy. Could have changed.

      I’ve also seen “GIF” files served up online that are actually, internally, animated PNG files, so some may actually be animated PNGs. No idea why people do that.
