Quick Answer: Remove Background from GIF Free (AI-Powered)
To remove the background from a GIF or image, use Gifur's AI remover at gifur.com/tools/background-remover. The RMBG-1.4 AI model processes each frame locally in your browser—files never leave your device.

Key Facts
Gifur's background remover uses the RMBG-1.4 model running entirely in-browser via WebAssembly.
WebGPU acceleration speeds up per-frame inference noticeably compared to the CPU fallback; available browsers fall back automatically.

How the removal works
The tool runs RMBG-1.4 — a background-removal model — directly in your browser with WebAssembly (and WebGPU when available). It looks at each frame, figures out what's foreground, and builds a transparency mask. Unlike cloud services, your images never leave the page.
After the background is gone
Transparent GIFs only support 1-bit transparency, which means hard edges around the subject. If you want soft, properly alpha-blended edges, convert the result to APNG with the GIF to APNG tool — APNG handles 16 million colours with real transparency, which is what you want for Discord stickers or any high-quality overlay.
