'''MNG''' ('''Multiple-image Network Graphics''') is an animated image file format. It was designed to be an alternative to animated [[GIF]].
  
The MNG format is very similar to [[PNG]]. MNG files are not, in general, valid PNG files, although all PNG files are by definition valid MNG files.

MNG makes use of the [[PNG]] and [[JNG]] formats. It supports transparency, and both lossless and lossy compression.
  
In addition to lossless compression, MNG can use [[JPEG]] compression. MNG also defines a subformat called '''JNG''', which stores JPEG-compressed still images, and supports transparency.
