Convert CUT to PNG ANIMATED

The CUT file extension stands for Dr. Halo Bitmap Image. Originally developed by Media Cybernetics for the Dr. Halo software, it is a device-independent bitmap image format that supports 8 bits per pixel, allowing for a total of 256 colors. CUT files are used for storing small bitmap images and require a separate PAL file to define colors. Without this palette file, the images display as grayscale. Over time, support for CUT files has expanded to various other applications.

Animated PNG is a file extension for animated raster graphics. Developed as an extension of the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format, Animated PNG allows for animation while maintaining PNG's lossless compression and transparency features. Introduced by Mozilla in 2004, it initially garnered limited support but gained traction for its compatibility and efficiency. Animated PNG is ideal for web usage, offering animation without the substantial file size of GIFs, making it suitable for high-quality web animations and UI elements.
