I am new to this form of animation. My system is Linux:

What is the best (preferably free) software for turning png frames into an
animated png file? Are there different codecs?

I intend to upload my apng to Imgur. Are there upper limits on framerate,
resolution, file size? Do viewers need specific browsers?

I made a 10-second clip at 6 fps, 198Hx264W pixels, using apngasm. I tried
viewing it with tacentview but it was super slow, several seconds per frame.

I am currently generating the frames for the same clip at 60 fps, 600 frames
total, 990x1320. It should be finished on Saturday morning.

I would be grateful for your advice!
