Convert APNG (Animated PNG) to JPE

Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is an extension of the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format designed to support animated images. Introduced in 2004, APNG allows for animated sequences while retaining backward compatibility with non-animated PNG files. This format is utilized for its lossless compression, making it ideal for web graphics where image quality is paramount. APNG files are widely used for animated icons, logos, and other elements that benefit from high-quality animations without the artifacts common in GIF files. Its concise, efficient structure makes it a preferred choice among developers and designers focused on optimizing web performance.

The JPE file extension stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is a widely used image format known for its efficient compression and high quality, making it ideal for digital photography and web use. Originating in the late 1980s, the JPE format was developed to enable the effective storage and transmission of photographic images. Its primary purpose is to reduce file size without significantly compromising image quality, thereby optimizing storage and facilitating faster file transfers in computer technology contexts.
