apng2gif is a free software that helps to convert animated png into animated gif. This utility is very useful as many web browsers and image viewers don’t support animated png files. Only still png image is visible for an animated png and you won’t be able to view what actually that animated png file contains.

Animated Gif can be viewed very easily with all modern browsers and with animated gif viewers.
