The main thing is to specify a picture on your computer or phone, and then click the OK button at the bottom of this page. By default, the plain background of the picture is replaced by a transparent one. The background color of the original image is determined automatically, you just need to specify in the settings what color to replace it with. The main parameter that affects the quality of the replacement is the "Intensity of replacement" and it can be different for each picture.

An example of a photo of a pink rose without changes and after replacing the solid background with transparent, white and green:


First example with a rose flower on a transparent background is made with the following settings:
1) Replacement intensity - 38;
2) Smoothing around the edges - 5;
3) Replace the solid background with a transparent one;
4) Cropping (<0) или Добавление (>0) along the edges - "-70";
5) Invert - disabled (check not checked).

For creating second example, with a white background, the same settings were used as in the first example, except for the parameter: "Replace plain background with" - white. AT third example, with a green background, the settings are also used, as in the first example, except for the parameter: "color in hex format" - #245a2d.

The original image is not changed in any way. You will be given another processed picture with a transparent background or the background you specify.

1) Specify an image in BMP format, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF:

2) Settings for replacing a solid background
Replacement rate: (1-100)

Edge smoothing: (0-100) Replace plain background with: transparent (PNG-24 only) red pink purple blue turquoise sky lime green yellow orange black gray white or hex color: open the Crop palette (<0) или Добавление (>0) at the edges: (from -100 to 100)
(Intensity for additional cropping or adding pixels around a selection on a transparent background) Invert Selection (instead of the background, replace the foreground)

Today I decided to move a little away from the topic of coding and tell a little about the design. Although design plays an important role in creating a site, I have not been friends with drawing, graphics and design since childhood. Therefore, I am looking for images for my posts, like many bloggers, somewhere on the Internet, using free photo banks and photo stocks.

And so, sometimes a very suitable picture for your post comes across and everything would be fine ... But the background of the picture does not fit the background of a blog or a block with text. Obviously, none of me have such a problem and none of my backgrounds are white, which would be suitable in most cases. I need transparent background!

I didn't find any good ideas on the internet. how to make a transparent background for the finished picture, so I started experimenting myself and found a more or less suitable solution!

How to make a transparent background for an image

Let's take as an example one simple picture in .jpg format (in general, the format is not particularly important):

There is White background, which I want to get rid of and make a transparent background instead. Pixlr, an online likeness of Photoshop, will help us with this.

Loading our image. On the right in the "Layers" window, the "Background" layer will appear, on which there is a lock (does not allow to remove the background of the picture).

By double-clicking the left mouse button on this padlock, you can remove the lock from the background. A checkmark will appear instead of a padlock.

Now we take the magic wand (toolbar, right column, second button from the top), specify the following parameters: tolerance = 21, ticks are on anti-aliasing and continuity(usually such parameters are standard), although you can experiment with the parameters; and click on the background of the image (in our case, on a white background).

Now we delete the background by pressing the "Delete" button and get the image we need with a transparent background.

Greetings, dear readers of my blog!

I recently needed remove background from the picture, I'm not particularly friendly with photoshop. And I'll tell you that I don't even have it on my computer. (Well, it’s right, in general, why do I need something with which I don’t know how to work).

PNG is one of the most common storage formats. graphic information. Using PNG allows you to keep high quality bitmaps, since this format compresses data without loss. In addition, PNG allows you to change the acceptable degree of transparency of the image pixels, so if you want to create a collage of several photos or insert an image into an existing transparent image, feel free to choose this format. No wonder PNG is so popular among designers and creatives alike.

To create a transparent image in PNG format with free online service site must first prepare the image. As an image, it is desirable to use pictures in PNG or GIF formats, since jpeg format can introduce slight distortions in the image at the border of the color transition, which will prevent you from making a high-quality blank for a future watermark.

Then it is necessary to paint over the area, which should become invisible, with some color, preferably absent from the rest of the image. This is necessary in order to clearly separate the visible and invisible parts of the image. If this is not done, it may turn out that the part of the image for which this is not desirable will also become invisible. Below is an example of an image prepared for processing. The area in the image that will be made transparent is highlighted in red.

Then you should select the item " Services" in the main menu of the site site and go to the sub-item "Creating a transparent image in PNG format". On the page that opens, select the file we prepared earlier and click the "Next step" button.

The image will be uploaded to the server and on the next page we will be given the opportunity to select the color that needs to be made transparent with the mouse.

By clicking on the mouse right place images, we get to the image processing results page. Now you need to click right click mouse on the processed image, select the menu item "Save picture as ..." and save the resulting image to the computer.
