    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.
