April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

JanitorOK, that's super interesting.
So first of all this is GIF, not PNG. But for some reason only version I can find of this animation under "original" url is the MP4, but with "small" sample, you can definitely get this file by using PNG file extension in the URL, but GIF doesn't work.
I was already converting the MP4 to WebM, but it seems like this GIF is indeed the original GIF. There might be lot more GIFs from baraag with similar situation going on.

MemberRight, description fixed.
I found this "png" link in the page source named as preview_url and was surprised when I opened it and see it animating. Probably a bug on the site, but a good one that we can make use of.

MemberIt may be a bug on the source page but animated PNGs are a thing (APNG), which I think is super interesting in its own right.

JanitorYes, however e621 always renames the file with MD5 hash and then extension from the header, rather than from the original filename, so e.g. .png from furaffinity really often changes into .jpg in here, because they are actually turned to JPG by FA, but they don't know how to code their sampler to change the filename correctly to reflect that... (source:*facdn*.png* width:1280 filetype:jpg)
But yeah, even I have uploaded a lot of these already, because they provide all the conviniences of GIF, but with full amount of colors, user:mairo apng
Looking at that it seems like it's part of the meta tags, meaning it's meant for previewing on chats and social. It might be so that the animations properly preview on these platforms, because videos cannot loop with most. APNG is also less supported (twitter actually supported it and then deliberately stopped them from working) and sampling GIF is basically impossibility because of how the optimization on them work.
