The other day, I was working on a presentation. I was trying to come up with a way to add a logo and few icons into PowerPoint. But there was a problem. The images all had different background colors, and I needed them to all have a uniform look.
Maybe you’ve been there too. You have a logo, icon, or other image that you’re trying to design with, but you need to remove the background of the image. You may need to add your company logo to a new image, or add an icon to a PowerPoint presentation. You can make the background of an image transparent with an advanced photo editor like, with TechSmith’s, or with a variety of other tools. Luckily, the approach is similar no matter what tool you are using. With Snagit, it only takes a few steps to quickly remove the background from your image.
How to remove the background from an image Keep in mind, Snagit is not as sophisticated as a tool like Photoshop, and it may not work on images or photos with complex backgrounds. However, Snagit is the perfect Photoshop alternative to make an image transparent if you aren’t familiar with high-end tools.
Step 1: Insert the image into the editor Start by taking a screenshot with Snagit, or importing an image from the File menu. Images that have white, solid, or high-contrast backgrounds work best. Step 2: Next, click the Fill button on the toolbar and choose transparent If you need to add a transparent fill to your Quick Styles for the first time, it’s pretty simple. All you need to is click down on the fill color option and select the transparent fill.
Step 3: Adjust your tolerance It’s fairly easy to adjust the tolerance on this image because it’s only black and white. But sometimes you have an image with lots of different shades. If you have an image with lots of similar colors or gradients in the background you may end up with some bleeding around the icon, logo, etc.
One thing you can do to immediate that is to adjust the tolerance of the fill. One percent is the most strict and 100 percent means it will pretty much wash out your entire image. You may have to play with the tolerance to get the right transparency level. In this case, 90 percent worked out well for this icon. Step 4: Click the background areas you want to remove If you are using a screenshot or a PNG image, it will default to have a transparent background.
If you are using a JPG or other file format, you’ll need to adjust your background color in the Snagit editor first or it will default to white rather than transparent. To to this, simply click Image Canvas Color (on Windows) or Edit Change Canvas Color (on Mac). Step 5: Save your image as a PNG If you don’t it will default your background to white. And that’s all there is to removing the background from an image.
