APNG at a glance

APNG

APNG started as a Mozilla-driven attempt to bring better animation into the PNG ecosystem. Its practical relevance increased once modern browsers and toolchains treated it as a viable web animation target.

TXT at a glance

Plain-text files are older than most modern document ecosystems, and many later markup and structured-writing formats exist precisely because people wanted to preserve text readability while layering more structure on top.
