The background threshold controls how similar a pixel’s color must be to the chosen background color in order to be removed.

Lower threshold → Removes only colors that are very close to the background color.

Higher threshold → Removes a wider range of similar colors, which can help if the background isn’t perfectly solid.

⚠️ Tip: If you notice a faint outline around objects in your transparent GIF/WEBP, try increasing the threshold value until the edges look cleaner.
