Frequently asked questions

What is Transparent Image Generator (TIG)?

TIG is a set of online tools for making transparent images, transparent GIFs and video loops. You can generate transparent PNGs, remove backgrounds from images and videos, build and edit GIFs, and upscale blurry GIFs to 1080p or 4K.

Is TIG free?

TIG has free tools. GIF Workspace offers a one-time seven-day full-access trial with no card required. Afterward, editing requires Workspace Plus at $0.99/month, including manual project-version checkpoints. AI operations are separately quoted and paid as you go using supported TIG Balance or existing legacy credits. Membership does not include AI generation.

How do I make a transparent GIF?

Describe what you want in the Transparent GIF Maker, or upload a video to Video to Transparent GIF to remove the background. TIG exports a GIF with a transparent background you can drop onto Discord, a stream overlay or a website.

How do I make a blurry GIF sharper?

Use the AI GIF Upscaler. Choose free browser resizing or an AI enhancement, then review the output before exporting. Available sizes and processing options depend on the source, selected mode and device limits.

Can I use what I make commercially?

You can use what you create with TIG in your own projects. If you start from someone else’s video or artwork, make sure you have the rights to use it.

Know before you start

Your questions, answered.

Do I need AI for every edit?

No. Browser tools cover tasks such as resizing, conversion and compression. AI is optional for supported creation and enhancement workflows.

Does adding $5 cost $5 per GIF?

No. A top-up adds $5 to your TIG Balance. Each paid operation has its own quoted price, shown before you approve it.

How do I check that the background is transparent?

Preview the result over both light and dark backgrounds. A checkerboard is a preview aid; your exported file must support transparency.
