Rewwwrap will carry transparency from an MP4 into a GIF when it exists — but standard MP4s have no alpha channel. Here's what to do for a truly transparent GIF.

How to convert MP4 to Transparent GIF

  1. Add your MP4 filesDrag them onto the drop zone above, or click to browse. Add as many as you like — they stay on your computer.
  2. Tune the settingsSet quality, frame rate and scale. Leave Transparency on to keep any alpha channel.
  3. Convert and downloadClick Convert. Each finished transparent GIF file gets its own download button, or grab everything with Download all.

Getting a transparent GIF from video

H.264 MP4 cannot store transparency, so there is nothing for a converter to preserve. Tools that promise to "remove the background" are guessing — results are usually messy.

The reliable route is to export a transparent MOV (ProRes 4444 with alpha) or transparent WebM from your editor, then convert that to GIF here.
