Png to gif with transparency

I have a png image with some transparency. I would like to convert it to a gif image. I tried using imagemagik with help convert myimage.png myimage.gifbut transparency is not respected.

Any solution using Linux commands? thank

What you do should work out of the box.

However, there is an important limitation of GIF as a format (not related to imagemagick). It does not support translucency (alpha channel). GIF transparency on / off (boolean).

Documents claim that the default behavior is to make pixels with (α <50%) completely transparent.

. , ( ImageMagick):

 convert a.png -channel A -threshold 15%   a_no_shadow.gif
