Free GIF Background Remover — Solid Colour to Transparent

Make a solid-colour background in an animated GIF see-through: pick the colour (or let the page guess it), set the tolerance, and remove it everywhere or only where it touches the edges.

Every tool opens the same editor, so you can crop, then resize, then add text in one go. Files stay on your device.

How to use it

  1. Step 1

    Open your GIF

    Drop a GIF on the page or pick one. It opens in your browser and is never uploaded.

  2. Step 2

    Pick the colour

    The page guesses the background from the edges; change it if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Set the tolerance

    Raise it until the background disappears in the preview without eating into the subject.

  4. Step 4

    Download

    Make the file and compare the new size and frame count with the original, then save it to your device.

Questions

Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is opened and edited inside your browser tab, and the new file is made on your device. Nothing is sent to our servers, so it works for private or unreleased work.

Does it work on photos?

It removes one solid colour, which suits cartoons, stickers, logos and screen recordings. For photos with real backgrounds, use the background remover on a still image.

Why is there a coloured fringe?

GIF transparency is on or off per pixel, so blended edge pixels stay. A slightly higher tolerance usually cleans it up.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Yes, it's free and needs no account. Editing and converting your own GIFs adds nothing to them. Animations you build from photos or a video follow the GIF maker's rules: free files are up to 15 seconds with a small corner credit; Pro removes the credit and allows 60 seconds.
