How to make a Background Transparent in GIMP step-by-step


Step 1:
Start Gimp




Step 2:
Open your image.




Step 3:
Select the area you want to make transparent.




Step 4:
Select the appropriate selection tool from the Tool window or the Tools – Selection Tools menu on
the Layer window. I usually use the magic wand/fuzzy select (Select contiguous region) tool
or the Select regions by color tool.
Click in the region you want selected. Use shift-click to add more regions/colors.Tip:

Step 5:
It’s easier if you zoom in (View – Zoom menu) to see finer details of exactly what you’re selecting.

Step 5:
In the Layer window (the one showing your image), select Layer – Transparency – Add Alpha Channel.




Step 6:
If this is blanked out then it’s already done. This makes sure your image can store transparency data

Step 6:
Select Edit – Clear. This makes the selection transparent.




Step 7:



Save the file.
Note: If you save it as a PNG file, be sure to select the Save colour values from transparent pixels
option in the Save as PNG dialog box.
