You can use FFmpeg to convert a PNG animation to a GIF while preserving transparency. Here's how you can do it:
- Open a command prompt or terminal.
- Use the following FFmpeg command to convert the PNG animation to a GIF:
bashffmpeg -i input.png -vf "fps=10,scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos" -c:v gif output.gif
Replace input.png
with the path to your input PNG animation file and output.gif
with the desired output GIF file name.
In this example, -vf "fps=10,scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos"
sets the frame rate to 10 frames per second and scales the image to a width of 320 pixels while maintaining the aspect ratio. You can adjust these parameters as needed.
The -c:v gif
option specifies the output video codec to be GIF.
The resulting GIF should maintain the transparency from the original PNG animation. Note that the quality and appearance of the GIF might vary based on the original image and the settings you choose.
