FAQ
What's the difference between global and flood fill?
Global removes every pixel of the selected color. Flood fill only removes connected pixels from where you click — useful when the same color appears in both the background and the sprite.
Can I undo a removal?
Click 'Try another image' to start fresh, or use tolerance 0 for exact color matching to avoid removing unintended pixels.
What format is the output?
PNG with transparency. JPG doesn't support transparency, so the output is always PNG regardless of input format.
