I'd be surprised if a vector PNG was that much larger than GIF. This has always been the trade off between the two which is why GIF is still a valid option for some graphics. Don't forget the advantages of PNG (24-bit) though,..do we REALLY want all those jaggies? Think how much fun there is to be had with APNG and Jscript.

I was about to say the same.. and I will... the APNG is 15kB's long... too bad against a 5kB gif... But.. anyways! I always loved the possibility of having MNG used by the masses.. but.. that didn't go very well. So.. here we are, my little APNGie... T_T ^^ Yep.. I was about to say the same.. and I will… the APNG is 15kB’s long… too bad against a 5kB gif… But.. anyways!

Ah, so that's what happened to MNG. I never quite figured that out, though I kinda suspected as much. I guess this APNG idea is pretty smart then. As for the larger filesize, I wonder, is the APNG indexed like the GIF file (because obviously a 24-bit PNG is much bigger than an 8-bit one)? Photoshop seems to say it isn't, but then again it can't detect its layers either. *clicks “Announced Recently”*… Ah, so that’s what happened to MNG.

I didn't notice that in my trivial test, but in fact the PNG is 16KB while the GIF is just 6KB. Since the APNG and GIF Movie Gear are both in development versions, I guess this will hopefully improve. I don't see a successful future if the gap remains so wide, even with PNG advantages.

How on earth does that happen? I would have expected APNG to be superior, or at least not significantly worse than GIF in all cases.
