Batch convert to apng

[hellocatfood]

I'm using ImageMagick 6.9.7.4 on Ubuntu 17:10. I'm trying to convert a folder full of .gifs to .apng files. I'm doing this by running

Code: Select all

mogrify -format apng *.gif

. However, when I run this I get the following error:

Code: Select all

mogrify-im6.q16: unable to open image `apng:': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2701.
mogrify-im6.q16: unrecognized image format `apng' @ error/mogrify.c/MogrifyImageCommand/4927.

If I choose any other format it works, and also if I use the convert command to convert one file. Is this an error with mogrify?

"mogrify -list format" will show you a list of formats that program can read/write. In my rather old versions of IM, "apng" isn't among them.

I do not believe Imagemagick supports APNG only MNG

That's interesting! I converted all of the files to apng by running

Code: Select all

for file in *.gif ; do convert $file ${file%.*}.apng ; done

I ran identify on one of the files and it returned this:

Code: Select all

email.apng[0] GIF 55x60 55x60+0+0 8-bit sRGB 256c 24.6KB 0.010u 0:00.000

So it seems you're right!

My guess is outputs the same as the input, since it shows GIF as the format. It does not recognize the desired apng and just outputs the input.
