I have tested your great applications, but should I take it they won't animate in Chrome? Your examples and my tests won't play/animate. Any way to make this happen?

Would be good if the assembler worked for GIFs then as only being useful for PNGs seems pointless if they won't play in chrome. At least from my point of view as chrome has a big share of the market.

Thanks Max ... do you have any knowledge or indication as to whether it might be considered?
I talked to Chrome developers, but they refuse to believe that people want APNG. We'll keep developing APNG tools, and one day they would have to reconsider. Not anytime soon, but one day.

Sometimes it's a good idea to create APNG and keep it locally just in case, but then use apng2gif converter so you can upload a GIF.

Thanks Max, but what I meant was if your 'apngasm_gui' tool had an option to out put as a GIF then it would widen its use. I don't know of another tools which makes it so easy to create an animated image but as it only creates a PNG means that its of no use to me (and others) because I am better off creating GIFs using other tools.
You seem to be missing a big section of the market by not having this as an option.

If you could make it happen I could certainly driver traffic to get some downloads for you.
Max, can I also ask an off subject question ... as I suspect you know facebook kill any animation within images uploaded to their platform, do you know of a way to get round this so that animation still plays? I saw it once but could never work out how this person had done it. I'm trying to find the link to this persons fanpage, but is there any way you know?

Chrome developers aren't convinced that people actually want APNG support.
I would suggest voting for this issue on their bugtracker (644 stars currently):

That makes some sense. I'll think about it. Thanks!

No, I think Facebook mostly converts everything to JPG.
Maybe there are some tricks, but I'm not aware of them.
