A better background remover for animated GIFs
Give reactions, product animations, and stickers room to breathe. Remove the background from every frame and keep the movement that makes your GIF yours.
Clean edges. No unwanted color halo.
A cutout is only as good as its edges. Edge cleanup reduces white fringes and green spill before a fresh color palette is built for each GIF frame. Fine-tune the result on light and dark backgrounds.

The right transparency for your next project

Frequently asked questions
Can a GIF have a transparent background?
Yes. A GIF can mark a palette entry as transparent. Each pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque; soft transparency requires APNG or PNG.
How do I remove the background from an animated GIF?
Choose your GIF, use automatic subject detection or a solid background color, then run the remover. Every frame is processed independently before export.
Is this GIF background remover really free?
Yes. All three export formats are free, with no registration and no credit system.
Will my GIF lose its animation?
No. Every decoded GIF frame and its timing are carried through to the animated export. PNG sequences include a timing manifest.
Why do transparent GIFs sometimes have white or green edges?
Edge pixels can contain color from the old background. Our cleanup reduces that contamination before rebuilding the palette. GIF’s binary transparency still limits how smooth an edge can be.
