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 transparent background done with these 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)

Pixir online program - make a transparent background for an image.

Sometimes you come across a very suitable picture for your post and everything would be fine ... But the background of the picture does not fit the background of the blog or 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.

As a result, the output is the same image with a transparent background.

The only disadvantage of Pixlr- you can't save the image in the .gif format, which also saves a transparent background, but is much easier than the .png format. But if there is no other way, why not take advantage of this?

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).

But the background from the picture had to be somehow removed, I began to surf the Internet, in search of a solution to my problem. There are actually a lot of options, but I was looking for something easier)). I found a very easy and simple way to remove the background from the picture.

And so, let's get started. We need photoshop, but since I don't have it. I use online Photoshop. It's very handy, I'll tell you. And of course the picture whose background we want to make transparent.

I will show you with an example, here is such a picture, we will remove the white background

We go to online photoshop. I used this one PIXLR

Choose: Upload image from computer.

Now right in the window "LAYERS" gotta open the lock

We click on it 2 times left button mouse, a checkmark should appear in the box.

Now go to the panel, which is located on the left, select the tool "Magic wand" and tolerance set to 21.

That seems to be all, but I am not completely satisfied with the picture, there are still remnants of the background, I again click on the place that I want to remove. Then "edit" ---- "clear". And so on until you remove everything you need.

Very often when creating greeting cards or video I came across the question: How can this be done without knowledge photoshop?

Those who are familiar with Photoshop will do this without difficulty. But not everyone has yet learned this smart program. How can they be? Is there really no way out?

After all, there is always a desire to make our presentations, congratulations, pages the most attractive and professional. I have already told you how to use the program for this purpose. It will help you make your pictures and you can even make your first one with it.

And now I will tell you one more secret: today you will learn how to make the background of the picture transparent. And you will do it absolutely free and spend only 2 minutes of your time.

Let's get down to business.

Find the picture you like. To begin with, it should be an image on a non-layered background - for example, on a white one. Let's go to the service page. You do not need to go through a tedious registration procedure. Just click on the online service link.

The following window will open in front of you:

Press " Upload image from computer". Select the picture you have prepared. You can place it in a separate folder in the images. Or on the desktop, so as not to look for a long time. Click once on this picture and click " open".

The picture appears on the server page:

On the right, there are 3 windows and a lock is drawn on the middle of them. Click on it 2 times with the left mouse. This will open the door to magic.

On the left side you see the panel " Tools", one of which is that " Magic wand" which we will now use. Click on it once, and then click on any empty space in the background of your chosen picture. A dashed line appears around the image.

The final step on the path to transformation: press the button " Del" (delete) on your computer. The background becomes a box. If not all the space around is covered by a box, touch this place again with a magic wand and press the "Del" button

A window appears in which you are asked: "Do you want to save the image before closing?" Press " Yes".

Sometimes it becomes necessary to change the picture by making the background transparent in it. Sometimes a picture will come across, but its background does not fit your site, and you want to make it transparent. Of course, if you have Photoshop and know how to work on it, you can do it there too. But there is an easier way, so to speak, "for dummies".

While surfing the Internet one day, I came across an article about Pixlr Photo Editor. By the way, this is not normal. graphics editor, and an online editor. Here is a link to it - http://pixlr.com/editor/ .

It is this program that will help us make a picture with a transparent background in PNG format.

We have, for example, the following image:

I want to remove the black background from it and make it transparent.

To do this, go to the program, select the item "Open image from computer" (Open image from computer) and load the desired image. Immediately change the program language to Russian (menu Language-> Russian language).

On the right in the "Layers" window you will see a thumbnail of the picture and a box. Double-click on the block (the "bird" in the box should appear). This way you remove the blocking from the background.

After that, select the "Magic Wand" tool (on the left of the toolbar), bring it to the background of the picture and click with the mouse. The background will be highlighted with a dotted line. Use the Delete key to delete the background.

That's what I did:
