Red marks erase pixels. Green marks restore the original pixels, including areas removed by color. Reset edits clears all marks.

Edits start from the original image. A fast preview updates as you adjust; full-size detail follows when you pause. Download uses your current settings.

Color removal and overall opacity are different

Remove a solid background color from a logo or signature, erase areas manually, or adjust overall opacity. Save a transparent PNG locally.

Use a background color and tolerance for a logo or signature. Red marks erase additional pixels; green marks restore original pixels. Overall opacity fades the entire image instead. Check thin strokes and edge fringes on the checkerboard before downloading PNG.

Transparent Image: original example before editing — A synthetic signature on a plain background is converted to a PNG with transparency.

Transparent Image: actual saved output — A synthetic signature on a plain background is converted to a PNG with transparency.

How to use Transparent Image

01
Load a logo, signature or image with a plain background.
02
Pick the background color, adjust tolerance and mark extra areas to erase.
03
Watch the preview update and inspect edges against the checkerboard before saving a transparent PNG.

Remove a white background from a logo or signature

Pick white, or another solid background color, then adjust tolerance until the background becomes transparent. Inspect the edges and erase remaining areas manually before downloading a transparent PNG. Use overall opacity only when you want to fade the whole image, including its subject.

PhotoCraft background-color removal online

The color-removal filter is adapted from the open-source PhotoCraft project. This independent tool is designed for solid-color backgrounds; it does not automatically cut people or hair out of a complex scene. Find other PhotoCraft-based image tools in the tool directory.

When this tool works best

Best for known solid backgrounds, logos and signatures. This is not automatic subject segmentation; complex scenes and hair need careful manual work. Overall opacity fades the whole image and is a separate mode.

Your downloaded file

A PNG that keeps transparent pixels. JPEG cannot preserve transparency; use the converter only if you want to replace it with a solid background.
