how to remove background from GIF?To use video-background-remover-cli to process an animated GIF, you'll need to rely on the related backgroundremover tool.

The basic command structure for generating a transparent animated GIF is straightforward:

bash

video-background-remover input.mp4 output/output.gif --animated gif

The video-background-remover-cli and backgroundremover are part of a broader ecosystem of open-source CLI tools for background removal. For directly processing a GIF, the backgroundremover tool is the more appropriate choice as it can take a GIF as input and output a transparent GIF.
