Multi-Frame Format

MNG can hold multiple FB2 page renders as frames — an animation-capable container that extends the PNG image family.

Server Processing

Conversion and rendering happen entirely on Convertio servers. Your local machine handles zero processing overhead.

Automatic Cleanup

Uploaded FB2 files are deleted immediately after conversion. MNG outputs are removed from servers within 24 hours.

About formats

FB2 (FictionBook) is an XML-based ebook format created by Dmitry Gribov in 2004, designed to provide a clean semantic description of a book's content independent of its visual presentation. Unlike page-layout formats, FB2 encodes structure — title, authors, chapters, annotations, genres, epigraphs, poems, footnotes, and binary attachments (typically cover images) — within a single well-formed XML document. This structural approach means reading applications have full control over rendering, allowing the same file to adapt perfectly to a small phone screen or a large e-ink reader. FB2 became enormously popular in Russia and Eastern Europe, serving as the dominant format on major Russian digital libraries and ebook distribution platforms. One significant advantage is metadata richness: the format's schema mandates detailed bibliographic information including author, translator, series position, publication date, and genre classification, making library management and discovery straightforward. The plain-text XML foundation is another strength — FB2 files are human-readable, easy to validate, and simple to transform using standard XML tools like XSLT. The format specification is freely available on GitHub, and a wide ecosystem of readers, editors, and converters supports it across all major platforms, from desktop applications like Calibre to dedicated e-readers with native FB2 rendering.

MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) is an animation and multiple-image format designed as the animated counterpart to PNG, with its specification reaching version 1.0 on January 31, 2001. Developed by Glenn Randers-Pehrson and members of the PNG development community, MNG extends PNG's capabilities with support for frame-based animation sequences, slide shows, complex sprite overlays, and JNG (JPEG Network Graphics) frames for lossy compression of photographic content within the same container. An MNG file consists of a series of chunks (following PNG's chunk-based architecture): MHDR and MEND chunks bookend the datastream, with embedded PNG or JNG images as individual frames and control chunks (DEFI, FRAM, LOOP, ENDL, TERM, BACK, BASI, CLON, PAST, DISC, SHOW) directing playback timing, looping behavior, layer compositing, and memory management. The format supports both full-frame replacement and delta (difference) updates for efficient encoding of animations with static backgrounds, as well as object-based animation where sprites are defined once and repositioned across frames. One advantage is technical sophistication: MNG provides a level of animation control that GIF and APNG cannot match — frame-accurate timing, nested loops, conditional branches, interframe compression, and mixed lossy/lossless content within a single animation. The PNG-based foundation ensures lossless quality with full alpha transparency for each frame. MNG is supported by ImageMagick, GIMP, and various media players, though browser support was limited, which led to APNG's emergence as a simpler alternative for web animation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert FB2 to MNG?

MNG is an animation-capable extension of PNG. Converting FB2 to MNG can package multiple pages as frames in a single animation file.

What displays MNG files?

Firefox historically supported MNG. On desktop, Konqueror, XnView, and ImageMagick handle MNG files for viewing and processing.

Is MNG like animated PNG?

MNG predates APNG and was designed as the animation companion to PNG. It supports complex frame sequencing and timing control.

Is conversion free?

Yes — FB2 to MNG on convertio.co is free. No account, no trial restrictions, no watermarks on the output.

Can MNG contain multiple pages?

MNG supports multiple frames, so your FB2 ebook pages could be packaged as sequential frames in a single MNG file.
