If this is not the case, add a new alpha channel from the layers menu; Layer+Transparency \u2192 Add Alpha Channel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Where is the image background transparent?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>IMGBIN.  <\/li>\n<li>CleanPNG.  <\/li>\n<li>StickPNG.  <\/li>\n<li>PNGTree.  <\/li>\n<li>FavPNG.  <\/li>\n<li>FreePNGs.  <\/li>\n<li>removebg.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Does PNG mean transparent background?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>PNG \u2013 PNGs are the most common file type for transparent background logos.

Most images cover a certain number of pixels and have color in all of those pixels, even if that color is white. A transparent background has nothing in the background pixels, allowing what&#8217;s behind it to show through.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Do jpegs support transparency?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The JPEG format doesn&#8217;t support transparency.
