Mac OSX Gif transparency still available?

So I am needing to convert some old sprite assets to different sizes because I am scaling my game different, and many were created eons ago when GameMaker 6 could import .gif with the lower left corner of the sprite being the transparency color. Is this still possible? I tried re-importing and the green background won't go away.

....or do I need to delete the green backgrounds and convert every sprite to a .png in order to have transparent backgrounds for the sprites?

There is a color remove tool where the brush, fill, rectangle, circle etc. tools also are. In the image editor, select all your frames then - using the color remove tool - click the color to remove.

If each GIF contains a lot of frames, other option would be to import it to a GMS1 project (GMS1 still had the legacy option to clear color in bottom-left corner for compatibility with GIFs exported from <=GM6), export a PNG strip (from subimage list window) and import that PNG into GMS2 project.
