Make Image Transparent – Free Online PNG Maker

Make image transparent in three steps: upload a picture, click the color you want to remove, and download a PNG with a see-through background. Use the tolerance slider to remove similar shades and the softness slider for smoother edges. It works best on logos, signatures, icons and graphics with a plain background. Your image is processed on your device and is never uploaded. It removes a color range, so it is not designed for cutting out people from complex photos.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make an image background transparent?

Upload the image, click the background color, adjust the tolerance until the background disappears, and download the PNG. The checkerboard shows what is transparent.

Why is some of the background still left?

The color may vary slightly. Raise the tolerance a little, or click that part of the picture to pick its color. Turn off the connected-area option to remove that color everywhere.

Why are the edges rough or have a halo?

Increase edge softness to fade the edge, and lower the tolerance if the color is eating into the subject. Plain, solid backgrounds give the cleanest edges.

Can it cut a person out of a photo?

Not reliably. This tool removes one color range, so it suits logos, signatures and graphics. Photos with detailed backgrounds need a dedicated background remover.

Which format keeps transparency?

PNG does. JPG cannot store transparency, so the download is always a PNG.
