How to do it

  • Open Make Color Transparent and add your pictures.
  • Choose the colour of the top-left corner, or pick a colour yourself.
  • Set how similar colours should also be removed.
  • Press Make transparent and download the PNG.

Tips

  • Start at 20 percent. Raise it if a halo of the old colour remains.
  • Lower it if parts of your logo disappear.
  • This works for flat backgrounds. For photos with busy backgrounds use Remove Background.
