This seems like it should be a basic feature. Is there any plan to implement this?

There's currently no plan for this feature. The main purpose of the app is to make small recordings and save as gif or video. So, a transparent background is not so common (I think).

Yeah that's what I'd expect the program would focus on. As such, including GIF transparency seems out of scope.

Btw, since ScreenToGif 2.26, it's possible to work with gifs with transparency.

If you animation is not transparent, you can select one color to be treated as transparent (like a background).
