Before & after
Solid colour vs AI: real results
All three GIFs were processed with this tool at its default settings (AI at the Standard edge), with no retouching; the person and the dog are AI-generated. After you upload, the tool checks the background and tells you which method fits.
Person in a busy café
Background: Shelves, windows, other people
The background has no single colour, so solid mode barely removes anything. AI cuts out the person cleanly, including the people behind her.
Furry pet on a lawn
Background: Grass, trees, a path
Grass and shade come in many tones, so solid mode only punches holes in the darkest patches. AI keeps the whole shiba, tail and fur included. GIF has no partial transparency, so fur tips look slightly stepped.
Three steps
How to remove the background from a GIF
No Photoshop, no frame-by-frame masking—three steps.
- 1
Upload your GIFs
Choose one or more GIFs, drop them in or paste them—each up to 50 MB and 600 frames. The background colour of each GIF is detected automatically.
- 2
Choose a method
Pick Solid colour for white, green-screen or other one-colour backgrounds; tolerance updates a live preview of frame 1, and you can pick the colour from the picture. Pick AI for people and real scenes. Not sure? The tool checks each GIF’s border and tells you when the background is solid enough to remove free, or when it needs AI.

Download the transparent GIFs
Check the edges on a checker, white, black or green backdrop, then download—several GIFs come as a ZIP.

FAQ
GIF background remover FAQ
Is the GIF background remover free?
Solid backgrounds (white, green screen, one colour) are free, with no sign-up and no limit, processed in your browser. AI removal for people and complex scenes needs an account and costs 1 credit per 100 frames (rounded up), refunded if it fails. New accounts get 4 free credits.
How do I make a GIF background transparent?
Upload the GIF. If the background is one colour, use Solid colour—it detects the colour for you—adjust tolerance until the preview is clean, then press Remove background. For a complex background, switch to AI. The GIF you download has a transparent background.
How do I remove a white background from a GIF?
Use Solid colour; white is detected automatically. Keep “From the edges” so white inside the subject (eyes, clothes) stays, and tick the halo option to clear the light fringe around the edges.
Why are there jagged or white edges?
GIF transparency is all or nothing—no partial transparency—so hair and curved edges look stepped, and background colour blended into the edge leaves a light fringe. Tick the halo option or raise tolerance in Solid mode, or choose Trim tighter in AI mode. Converting the result to PNG won’t smooth it: PNG supports partial transparency, but the GIF only holds on-or-off pixels, so the lost edge detail can’t come back.
How much does AI removal cost?
1 credit per 100 frames, rounded up—48 frames is 1 credit, 150 frames is 2—and the total shows on the button before you start. Credits don’t expire. Changing the edge setting on a GIF you’ve already processed costs nothing.
Does removing the background change quality or size?
No. The result is built from every frame of your original GIF at the same size, frame count and timing, with the original colours. The AI only uses a reduced copy to find the background; your GIF is never shrunk. The file can get bigger—run it through the GIF compressor if needed.
Can I remove backgrounds in bulk?
Yes. Add up to 20 GIFs; each gets its own detected background colour, one press processes them all, and the results download as a ZIP.
Is my GIF uploaded?
In Solid colour mode, everything happens in your browser and the file never leaves your device. In AI mode a reduced copy is uploaded to work out the background; the final transparent GIF is made from your original in your browser.
Does it work on phones?
Yes—Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android. Very large GIFs are slower on phones, so use a computer for files with hundreds of frames.
