APNG to Xvid Converter

APNG (Animated PNG) is a still-image format that plays a short loop with full transparency, while Xvid is an MPEG-4 Part 2 video codec that legacy DivX/Xvid hardware players, set-top boxes, and older media centers can decode natively. Converting an APNG to Xvid turns a web animation into a standard .avi video clip those devices will actually play — the catch is that Xvid carries no alpha channel, so any transparency in the source is flattened onto a solid Background Color you choose. If your target is a phone, modern smart TV, or the web, APNG to MP4 (H.264) produces a smaller, more widely supported file; pick Xvid only when an old DivX-certified player demands it.

How to Convert APNG to Xvid

1. Upload Your APNG File: Drag and drop the .apng onto the page or click "Upload" to pick it. You can add several files to process in one batch.
2. Pick Merge Strategy and Image Duration: Choose "Merge images" to fold multiple uploads into a single Xvid video, or "Video per image" for one clip each. Set Duration (default 5 seconds per frame) to control how long each still is held on screen.
3. Set Background Color and Resolution: Because Xvid has no alpha channel, pick a Background Color (default Black) to fill the transparent areas, then leave Video Resolution on "Keep original" or choose a preset. Quality Preset defaults to Very High.
4. Convert and Download: Click "Convert" to render the Xvid .avi. No sign-up, no watermark. Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my transparent APNG show a solid color in the Xvid video?

Xvid is an MPEG-4 Part 2 video codec and has no alpha channel, so transparency cannot survive the conversion. The transparent pixels are filled with the Background Color you select (Black by default). Set it to a color that matches where the clip will play, or convert to a format that keeps alpha if you need it.

What container does the Xvid output use?

Xvid video is wrapped in an AVI container (.avi), which is what legacy DivX/Xvid-certified players, older DVD/media-center hardware, and set-top boxes expect. The codec itself is the Xvid implementation of MPEG-4 ASP; the .avi is just the wrapper that carries it.

Will Xvid play on a modern phone or smart TV?

Often not without an extra player. Xvid in AVI is a legacy combination — many current phones and smart TVs have dropped or limited AVI playback. If your audience is on modern hardware or the web, convert to APNG to MP4 instead; H.264 MP4 is smaller and plays natively almost everywhere.

How is the frame rate decided when there's no APNG timing?

The output uses the Image Duration you set (default 5 seconds per frame), not the APNG's original per-frame fcTL delays, so each still is held for the duration you pick. Lower the duration for a faster, more animation-like result; raise it for a slideshow feel.

Why pick Xvid over a modern codec like H.264?

Only for compatibility with old DivX/Xvid-certified hardware. Xvid (MPEG-4 Part 2 ASP) is a decade-older standard than H.264, so it produces larger files at the same quality and lacks modern features. In our testing, a short APNG re-encoded to Xvid AVI was noticeably larger than the same source converted to H.264 MP4 at matched visual quality — choose Xvid only when a legacy player requires it.

Does the Xvid file include audio?

No. APNG is a silent image format, so the converted Xvid AVI has no audio track. Audio in AVI is carried by the container separately from the Xvid video codec, but there is no sound to import from an APNG source.

Are my uploaded files kept or shared?

No. Files are uploaded over an encrypted (TLS) connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours — no sign-up, no watermark, and nothing is shared or made public.
