Here's a code snippet from the php.net documentation on imagecolortransparent by Blaine Ehrhart <?php $im = imagecreatefromgif('trans.gif'); $img = imagecreatetruecolor(16,16); $trans = imagecolorallocate($img,255,99,140); imagecolortransparent($img,$trans); imagecopy($img,$im,0,0,0,0,16,16); imagetruecolortopalette($img, true, 256); imageinterlace($img); imagegif($img,'trans.gif'); imagedestroy($img); ?> See if it works.
