Sanity does not support APNG, but Lottie files can be used for lightweight animations.

does Sanity support APNG (animated PNGs)?

No, unfortunately. It’ll just get converted to a PNG of the first frame.

figured I can use APNG if I go with a

file

type instead of

image

Awesome!

Checkout lottie files as well if your looking for a more lightweight animation option.
I just did some exploration for a client and the load time is super quick, and easy to integrate.

Ohh, that is pretty cool.
