I’ve got an image for the web I created in photoshop. If I save it as a .gif file, the edges become jagged and not very attractive. Is there a way to have the image transparent and still smooth?

Thanks in advance
Sort of … IF your web page background where the .gif is to reside is a single colour or you can grab the exact spot.

Put this grab under the original gif before making transparent or make a layer of colour the same as the page’s background. Make a mask of the gif layer, flatten, then delete the inverse of the mask. Then export as the .gif ..
