What is an HSP3 file?

HSP3 files mostly belong to Web browsers, image viewers, and some image editing software. An APNG file is a type of animated image file that uses the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format. It extends the standard PNG format to support animation, similar to how an animated GIF works. APNG files can support both 24-bit images and 8-bit transparency, unlike GIFs, which are limited to 8-bit color and 1-bit transparency. This allows for higher quality images and smoother animations. APNG files also support delta frames, which store only the changes between frames, resulting in smaller file sizes compared to storing each frame as a complete image. While not as widely supported as GIFs, APNG is gaining popularity, especially in web browsers and applications that prioritize image quality and performance.
