You may be used to saving image files for web use as JPEGs, but JPEGs don’t support transparent backgrounds. So, instead, you’ll need to use a format such as GIF, TIF or, ideally, PNG. The PNG file is small enough for use online but still delivers high quality with transparency as well.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Correspondingly, can a JPEG have a transparent background? JPEG can’t support transparency because it uses RGB color space. If you want transparency use a format that supports alpha values.<\/p>\n

You asked, how do I remove the white background from a JPEG? <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the file.<\/li>\n
  2. Double click the background layer to convert it to a regular layer.<\/li>\n
  3. Set up the Magic wand tool with tolerance=32 on the tool’s option bar, and untick “Contiguous”<\/li>\n
  4. Left click on a white area, then hit delete on the keyboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In this regard, how do you make a JPEG see through? Select the picture for which you want to change the transparency of a color. On the Format Picture tab, click Recolor, and then select Set Transparent Color. Click the color in the picture or image that you want to make transparent.<\/p>\n

    Likewise, can a PNG be transparent? Raster file formats that support transparency include GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF, TGA and JPEG 2000, through either a transparent color or an alpha channel.<\/p>\n
