What other tools & integrations you can use to make an image background transparent

remove.bg is, of course, not the only great tool you can use to make the background of an image transparent. Because if you’re a graphic designer, marketer, or private user and are already using a graphic design or photo editing tool, we wanted to make things a little easier. Canva, Photoshop, and Illustrator are also great for making image backgrounds transparent, especially if you intend to make more edits right after.

Use Canva for transparent image backgrounds

This tool has completely turned the graphic design world upside down and made it accessible for everyone. Here’s how you can use Canva and its remove.bg integration to make an image background transparent.

1. Open up CanvaCreate a design

2. Go to Uploads → drag and drop your image into the left bar or click on Upload media and select your image.

3. Click on the image once → it now appears in the middle of your design.

4. Go to Effects.

5. Now select Background Remover (note that this is a Canva premium feature, but you’re in luck — you’ll also have access to a free trial).

6. In just a few seconds, the background of your image will be transparent.

Canva is fantastic because you can then go ahead and add a coloured background and an exciting font like this one:

Or just go ahead and change the background to another image to create a completely different look like this:

Your limits are pretty much endless with Canva, so enjoy playing around.

Use Photoshop to make image background transparent

You can also use Photoshop to turn any image background into a transparent one. With Photoshop, you can either install the remove.bg plugin or use Photoshop’s built-in background tool — but just as a warning, this tool doesn’t give you very sharp edges, so we recommend going with the plugin.

Find a detailed explanation and a step-by-step guide on how to remove the background of an image in Photoshop (including plug-in installation) in one of our latest blog posts.

You also always have the option of using the remove.bg online tool and uploading the image back into Photoshop.

Adobe Illustrator is also a great tool you can opt for when it comes to making the background of your image transparent.

You can do so by using:

  • Image trace to create a vector

  • The magic wand or pen tool to remove the background with a clipping mask

  • The save as EPS file function to remove a white background
