Krita has a bug where it can't export an animated gif with transparency. Fortunately, there is a work-around! Here is a video explaining how to use Krita to create an animated gif with transparency.

There's a couple steps. First, a GIF won't be able to read transparency unless it's 100% transparency. It also can't read more than one layer. So you basically have to make sure the picture is flattened into one layer, and that the transparency is 100% where you want it. Then go to Image>Convert Image Color Space and set it to "8-bit" and color space "sRGB-elle-V2". Then when you export an animated GIF you'll use "render animation" and choose to make it an "image sequence" instead of a "video". Because apparently this glitch is with Krita creating animated GIFs with transparency, but when you make an image sequence each image has the appropriate transparency. Then you just have to use another tool to put the images together again as an animation.

The following video recommended https://gifmaker.org although at the time of this writing it's serving a suspicious message due to an expired security certificate or something. The other recommendation was https://gifmaker.me although the video warns that the quality can get messed up. There's probably an even better alternative, using a program on your computer, instead of relying on random websites, but that's all I got for now.
