Why is the output larger than the APNG?

APNG often compresses better than GIF for clean line art. For photographic content, GIF can be smaller — and a palettegen pass keeps colour balance close.

My APNG looks fine in browsers — why convert?

Browsers fully support APNG. Conversion is useful for native apps, embedded slideshows and chat platforms that still only accept GIF.
