Frequently asked questions

Is this GIF background remover free?

Yes. 100% free, no watermarks, no sign-up, no limits. Everything runs in your browser.

Does this tool upload my GIF to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your GIF never leaves your device.

How does color-based background removal work?

You pick the background color (by clicking on the GIF or entering a hex value), then the tool finds all pixels within your tolerance range and makes them transparent across every frame.

Will the edges look smooth?

GIF only supports 1-bit transparency (fully transparent or fully opaque), so edges may appear slightly jagged. For smooth edges, use a PNG-based background remover.
