  • I just tried ten different sites, and this is still the best one nine years later, unless you want AI-based background removal.

Gifs images basically have some 'n' number of layers , which will produce the animation effect. Open the .gif file in photoshop , all layers will be displayed in the layers panel. Select magic wand and click on the white area , the area gets selected and hit delete to remove the white part. Do that on each layer.

    Is there any way to automate this for multiple layers?

I don't think there is any way to do this. If you open a transparent image from Video Frames To Layers it has white background but it has the frames, but if you just load it normally the transparency is there, but for 1 frame only.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. It doesn't seem like you're offering a solution

  • Video frames to layers was needed when Adobe broke CS4, they've since fixed it and that issue is no longer present.
