Transparent GIFs remove the background of an image to display only important elements on websites. They can be created from standard or original designs, and turned into animations. Clear GIFs can also be used as placeholders or invisible devices to monitor website traffic. They can be created using proprietary or freeware image editing software, with specific steps depending on the program used. Tutorials are available online.
A transparent GIF is an image that has been modified to display only certain parts of the image when placed on a website. Usually, users who want to create transparent GIFs choose to remove the background of the image so that only the important elements of the image are displayed on websites. Transparent GIFs can direct attention and allow for cleaner looking images on a website.
Transparent GIFs can be created from standard images or original designs that have been saved against standard white backgrounds. The backgrounds of both of these types of images can be edited and made transparent using a suitable image editing program. Also, users can turn static and transparent GIFs into animations by manipulating the GIF, adding extra frames and saving it as a new GIF. Transparent GIFs are particularly attractive to website owners who use a particular color scheme on their websites and want to display images without the background color of the image conflicting with the background color of the website. At the same Thus, if a website’s background texture is relevant to the subject of the image, using clear GIFs can highlight the connection.
Transparent GIFs may also have less obvious uses. Website designers can create transparent GIFs and use them as a type of placeholder within a table cell. Clear GIFs used in this way help in the overall design and functioning of the website. Website owners who use clear GIFs for this purpose typically refer to the clear GIF as a “spacer GIF.”
The definition of clear GIF can vary between website owners. The words “clear GIF” can also be used to describe a specific type of invisible device used to monitor traffic and user activity on websites. These GIFs are single-pixel and, therefore, very small and virtually undetectable. These types of clear GIFs can also be called “clear GIFs” and “1 by 1 GIFs”.
You can create a transparent GIF using common proprietary image editing software. However, some freeware programs can also be used for the same result. The specific steps to take to create a transparent GIF will depend on the image editing program the user is working with. A user should research its specific program, functions and features to determine the best way to create a transparent GIF. Tutorials can also be easily found online by entering the program name and the words “Transparent GIF” into any search engine.
