The editorial board sounds kinda stupid, though GIF IS kinda like JPEG in how it can mess up images.

True. I'm all for a better image format… but it's stupid to move to a format supported by only 30% of the internet

Does anyone know of a free APNG Sprite animator? Oh and does APNG also have a smaller file size than an animated GIF?

1) http://lmgtfy.com/?q=APNG+animator
2) obviously, since it contains more colors, it would be larger in most cases.

On the other hand, I?ve heard that PNG?s compression algorithm is more efficient than GIF?s, meaning that in general PNGs will be smaller. Don?t know how true that is though; I?m no expert on image formats.

PNG makes use of zip's compression algorithm, GIF makes use of LZW. I don't know how .zip compares to LZW.

There needs to be an LZMA algorithm picture format (.7z's ULTRA compression)
