HOW CAN YOU REMOVE A WHITE BACKGROUND FROM A TRANSPARENT IMAGE?

Have you ever saved or downloaded an image in JPEG format, thinking it was transparent, only to find a white background instead?

No worries – removing a white background from a transparent image is simple. Just follow these steps:

  • Open the Background Remover tool.
  • Repeat the same editing steps mentioned earlier, and the AI Select tool will automatically detect and remove the background, even if it’s white, and save it as a transparent image.

Using the Picsart app on your mobile device, you can remove a white background from a transparent image using the Fit tool background eraser steps mentioned earlier.

You also have the option to save your transparent image to your Picsart account, which allows you to use it as a customized sticker in your future edits.

Alternatively, you can add a completely new background color to your transparent image now that you’ve eliminated all traces of white.

CAN A JPEG OR A PNG BE TRANSPARENT?

When creating transparent images, it’s important to consider the image format you use. Two popular image formats are JPEG (or JPG) and PNG.

JPEG is widely used as a digital image format because of its small file size and compatibility with almost all websites. However, JPEG images do not support transparency.

This means that it’s not possible to make the background transparent in a JPEG image.

In contrast, the PNG format is less common but supports transparent images.

PNG images also have a better compression rate than JPEG images, with lossless compression that preserves the image quality no matter how many times you edit it.

So, if you want to create transparent images, PNG is the way to go.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A JPEG IMAGE TRANSPARENT?

That’s correct! JPEG images do not support transparency, so if you make the background of a JPEG image transparent and then save it as a JPEG again, the transparent sections will become white.

To preserve the transparency, you should save the image as a PNG instead.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A PNG IMAGE TRANSPARENT?

PNG is considered the best format for creating transparent images because it preserves the quality of your photos and is widely supported on most websites.

To create a transparent PNG image, you must first upload your image to the Picsart Editor and follow the steps outlined above to remove the background.

After that, save the edited image as a PNG file, and you’re ready. When using Picsart, the software will default to saving your image as a PNG, ensuring the transparency is preserved.

With a transparent PNG image, you can add it to other photos without worrying about pixelation or loss of quality.

HOW DO YOU CONVERT A JPEG TO PNG ONLINE?

Converting a JPEG image to a PNG requires third-party apps or online tools. Many online tools have limitations.

However, if you’re using Picsart, you can easily convert a JPEG to a PNG and edit the image in one go. Simply open your JPEG file in the Picsart Editor, make any necessary edits, and save the image.

Picsart will automatically convert the image to a PNG for you. Remember that Picsart saves images as PNG files by default, so you won’t worry about losing transparency or quality.

It’s important to note that converting a previously saved transparent image from JPEG to PNG won’t restore its transparency.

You’ll need to re-edit the image and save it as PNG to create a transparent image.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND IMAGES ONLINE?

Finding the right images for transparent edits can be challenging, but luckily many images are available online with transparent backgrounds.

However, it’s important to be careful when downloading images to avoid accidentally downloading a fake transparent image with a grey checkered background that is part of the image.

To avoid this frustration, you can use the Picsart Editor to browse various transparent images available in the Stickers section.

Type any word or phrase in the search bar to discover all images with transparent backgrounds. This can save you time and effort and ensure your images are truly transparent.
