What is a gif transparency maker?
learn more about this toolThis is a browser-based program that creates GIF animations with a transparent background. For example, if your GIF has a red background, then you can enter "red" or hex code "#FF0000" in the transparent color field, and this red background will be assigned the transparent color index, which will make it disappear from the output GIF. As a bonus, our app also allows making any GIF region transparent (not just the background). When you specify the color that should change to the transparent color, then it matches this color everywhere in the GIF. The color can be entered as a name ("blue"), hex or RGB code ("#0000FF" or "RGB(0, 0, 255)"), or selected via the attached color palette in options. By increasing or decreasing the threshold value, you can control the transparent color's tint, tone, and shade. By default, the application makes all GIF frames transparent but if necessary, you can remove the color only in the specified frames. Frames that will be made transparent can be listed as "1, 2, 6" or specified as a range "2-5". To make all frames transparent, enter the "*" symbol. You can also turn on the built-in GIF player and view the transparent GIF frame by frame. Sometimes, you need to see how one particular frame looks like. In this case, you can use the "Show One Frame" option that will pause the GIF player and display only the requested frame. To see all the transparent pixels at a glance, you can turn on the black and white filter, which displays transparent areas in black color and all opaque areas in white. Each transparent GIF can be instantly downloaded by clicking the "Save as" and "Download" buttons. Gifabulous!

Click to useRemove GIF Background
In this example, we create a GIF animation with a transparent background. We remove the blue background of the original GIF and make the pixels around the jumping dog transparent. We enter the background color using the hex code "#4891C6" and include 5% of its bluish shades in the match. The input GIF has 25 frames and we remove this color in all of them.

Transparent Fire GIF
In this example, we delete the dark brown background from the burning flame GIF. We select the color for transparency using the palette picker option and get the code rgb(55, 33, 25). In addition to this color, we also replace 10% of similar brown tones. (Source: Freepik, created by: macrovector.)

Make Some Frames Transparent
In this example, we make only some of the GIF frames transparent. Instead of entering the asterisk symbol (which corresponds to all GIF frames), we enter the frame range "1-8", which corresponds to the first half of the GIF. The remaining frames 9-15 remain unchanged. We specify the white color as a replacement color and set the fuzzy color tone match percentage to 12, which also matches grayish pixels around Totoro's body.
