Convert APNG to GIF
An APNG sticker or animation needs to be posted somewhere that only recognises GIF as a moving image.

Where the streams already fit the target container this is a lossless remux, which is close to instant. Otherwise it re-encodes, which in a browser is slow — keep it under a few hundred MB and send long videos to the cloud engine.

What actually changes
APNG and GIF are not the same picture in two wrappers.
APNG's full-colour frames with 8-bit alpha are reduced to indexed 256-colour frames with binary transparency. Frame delays and loop count are carried across.
Worth knowing first
APNG's whole advantage is smooth alpha, and GIF cannot store it. Every soft edge in the animation becomes a hard, aliased one, and any frame that relied on partial opacity to fade will pop instead.
Questions
APNG to GIF, answered
Which is smaller?
It depends on the content. APNG compresses flat animation better; GIF sometimes wins on noisy content simply because it has already thrown away most of the colours.
Is APNG widely supported?
In browsers, yes, universally. Outside browsers it is patchy, which is the usual reason for converting back to GIF.
