How to Convert an Image to a Transparent PNG

Need to convert an image to a transparent PNG? We've got you covered.

With the simple tool, remove.bg, you can get the job done in seconds — and ensure you end up with the best quality result.

Step by step — convert a JPG image to PNG transparent

To convert your JPG into a transparent PNG, all you need is the handy tool remove.bg. No fiddling around with a complex software like Photoshop, it’s just drag and drop.

Here's a simple breakdown:

  1. Ensure you have the JPG image you want to convert stored/downloaded on your device.

We're going to use this image to demonstrate:

2. Next, open up remove.bg and drag and drop the image onto the tool.

3. Wait for remove.bg to automatically convert the background of your image to transparent. This usually takes a few seconds. It's like magic really.

4. Check the preview of your image with the background removed. Want to make slight adjustments? For example, the girl is holding something tiny (or so it seems, whereas in reality it's just dirt on the wall) so we want to remove that.

5. To make manual adjustments like this (adding or removing specific elements with a brush) simply go to > Erase/Restore.

6. Now select > Erase to remove any elements, and > Restore to add any elements back in which you didn't want to turn transparent. We're going to use the Erase function to remove the spec. Go to > Brush Size and use the dial to adjust the size.

7. Then draw over the element you want to erase or restore like this:

8. Happy? Then go ahead and press > Done.

9. Now that you've turned your JPG image into a transparent PNG — it's time to download it. Go ahead and select > Download. It will automatically save as a PNG file. If you want a more high-quality HD result, opt to select > Download HD.

You get to download one free transparent HD image when you sign up to remove.bg for the first time. Otherwise, you will need to purchase credits — it all depends on your needs. You can find the expected pixel quality outcomes of your download just below the buttons:

10. Yay! You can now find the file in your default download folder on your computer.

Now you can continue using your transparent PNG for whatever purposes you need it for — upload it to Photoshop, Canva, or a presentation. It's that simple.

8. Once you have uploaded all of the images which you want to turn the background transparent of, go ahead and click > Start. This will trigger the desktop app to start processing your images.
