Re:Why BPG will replace GIFs and more by jonsneyers on Wednesday January 27, 2016 @08:26AM (#10979886)
In this example .mp4 video, I extracted the frames as 369 invidual PNG files, with a total size of 193MB.

Encoding those 369 PNG files to a LOSSLESS BPG animation (using bpgenc 0.9.6 with options -lossless -a) produces a .bpg file of about 50MB.

Encoding them to APNG (using apngasm 2.7) results in a 57MB animated PNG file.

The corresponding progressive FLIF animation is 20 MB.

Obviously it is not a good idea to losslessly encode lossy images/movies, as a lot of bytes are wasted on encoding compression artifacts.
