The only way to change the magenta background into transparent and keep the animation I can think of is using imagemagick

[mazvi]

We don't have to worry about transparency :) no problem not being transparent on the website :D

imagick package is not included by default in php, users may experience problems because of this (not all hosts allow to install packages for php), so I don't want to use imagemagick now.
If there is no other way to process GIFs, then we will return to this option (imagemagick) and make it optional.

[Daegaladh]

Well, php-gd is also an extension and we use it anyway

Maybe you could check for imagemagick and made it optional to show transparency depending on if it's installed or not
