View source for Multiple-image Network Graphics

'''Multiple-image Network Graphics''' (MNG) is a graphics file format, published in 2001, for animated images. Its specification is publicly documented and there are free software reference implementations available.

== Descripion ==

MNG is closely related to the [[PNG]] image format.

When PNG development started in early 1995, developers decided not to incorporate support for animation, because the majority of the PNG developers felt that overloading a single file type with both still and animation features is a bad design, both for users (who have no simple way of determining to which class a given image file belongs) and for web servers (which should use a MIME type starting with image/ for stills and video/ for animations—GIF notwithstanding).

However, work soon started on MNG as an animation-supporting version of PNG.

Version 1.0 of the MNG specification was released on 31 January 2001.
