What changes when you convert AI to APNG
- AI artwork is drawn from shapes, so it is rendered to pixels at high resolution (up to 4096 px on the longest side) before it is saved as APNG. Edges stay crisp.
- Both formats support transparency, so see-through areas stay transparent.
- Your AI is a still image, so the APNG will also be a still image.
