Flag to remove transparency

[retep998]

When processing a gif with gifsicle I'd like to be able to remove the transparency and replace it with a solid background color. Can a flag be added to do this? If this is already possible then can the documentation be improved to describe this use case? Thanks.

I think --no-transparent is what you're looking for, but that might not suffice. Try it though.

It does remove the transparency, but it doesn't let me choose what color to replace it with. If I use --no-transparent in combination with --background, it does not use the background color I specified to replace the transparency.

If you post your GIF here I can maybe take a look

For example, this random transparent gif:

I execute .\gifsicle.exe --no-transparent --background "#000000" pony.gif -o pony2.gif

The result has a white background and not a black background:

Here is another example gif which shows how --no-transparent is not what I want. It removes the transparency from each individual frame before doing compositing resulting in horrifying artifacts.
