GIF's successor?

[hujan86]

Is there any image file format out there succeeds GIF? Especially one that I can embed in a forum post.

WEBM. I don't know how kametsu handles the format, though. Also, it behaves like a video with play and pause capability plus optional sound.

The real successor to GIF is APNG, which works pretty much the same way and is supported by just about every major browser.

Thanks, I did not know APNG.

APNG filesizes are way too huge. webm is much nicer. There's also animated webp, which is also much better than APNG because you can use lossy compression and keep the size low.

Do you know any good websites to create gifts from?

I've never heard of APNG. Seems like the .webm format won the day, since that's what I use & see others using most of the time. Did any of you ever find out if the forum supports .webm files? I would simply give it a shot if I wasn't afraid I'd break something.
