DivX to APNG Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
DivX is the MPEG-4 ASP profile that defined movie sharing and DVD-player compatibility in the 2000s — most "AVI movies" of the era are DivX. Convert an animated GIF to APNG to keep smooth color and clean transparency while staying animated.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.
How DivX compares to APNG
| DivX | APNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | AVI variant + DivX extensions | PNG frames + acTL/fcTL chunks |
| Types / schema | MPEG-4 ASP video + MP3/AC3 audio | True color + full alpha |
| Compatibility | ffmpeg, DivX players, VLC | Chrome, Firefox, Safari (all modern) |
| Best for | 2000s movie library migration | High-quality animation on the web |

About the DivX format
DivX was the codec that made movie-sharing possible on a CD-R: MPEG-4 ASP at a bitrate that fit a 90-minute film into 700MB. The .divx container is DivX's own variant of AVI with chapter and menu extensions, and a decade of downloaded movies carry it.
Conversion to MP4 is straightforward — the MPEG-4 ASP video decodes through ffmpeg and re-encodes to H.264 at half the size for phones and smart TVs that never learned the DivX profile.
+Strengths
- ✓Enormous installed base of content
- ✓Hardware players supported it for a decade
- ✓Decodes cleanly via ffmpeg
!Limitations
- −QPEL/GMC profiles break some decoders
- −MPEG-4 ASP artifacts at low bitrates
- −Superseded by H.264 everywhere
About the APNG format
APNG (Animated PNG) is what GIF should have been: the same PNG file format with an animation extension — every frame in full 24-bit color with 8-bit alpha, no 256-color palette, no binary transparency with jagged edges. All modern browsers render it natively.
GIF has one job APNG does better in every dimension: color fidelity and clean transparency for animation. Converting an animated GIF to APNG keeps every frame but upgrades color depth and kills the halo around transparent edges. The only cost is file size — true color costs bytes.
+Strengths
- ✓Full 24-bit color per frame (no 256-color palette)
- ✓8-bit alpha transparency — no jagged edges
- ✓Native rendering in every modern browser
!Limitations
- −Larger files than GIF for the same animation
- −Legacy tools may show only the first frame
- −Not accepted by some social platforms
Why convert DivX to APNG?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of APNG meet what DivX cannot give you. Full 24-bit color per frame (no 256-color palette) Meanwhile QPEL/GMC profiles break some decoders One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this DivX to APNG converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Will I lose quality converting DivX to APNG?
No — APNG is a lossless format, so every pixel of the converted image matches your original DivX file. You can also adjust the quality/size balance before converting when the target format supports compression.
Will the audio track be kept?
Yes. The audio is carried over and re-encoded to the standard audio codec of APNG, staying in sync with the video. If your DivX file has multiple audio tracks, the first one is used.
Why is video conversion slower than image conversion?
Every frame has to be decoded and re-encoded. This site runs that work on your own CPU via WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded, but a multi-minute video reasonably takes a few minutes. Images, by comparison, are single-frame jobs.
