Online program Pixir - make a transparent background for a picture.

Sergey Feschukov

Sometimes you come across a very suitable picture for your post and everything would be fine... But the background of the picture does not match the background of the blog or block with text. Apparently no one has this problem and no one has a white background, which would be suitable in most cases. I need transparent background!

I couldn't find any good ideas on the Internet. how to make a transparent background for the finished picture, so I started experimenting myself and found a more or less suitable solution!

How to make a transparent background for a picture

Let’s take as an example one simple picture in .jpg format (in general, the format is not particularly important):

There is White background, which I want to get rid of and make a transparent background instead. An online version of Photoshop will help us with this.

Uploading our image. On the right in the “Layers” window a “Background” layer will appear, on which there is a lock (prevents the background of the picture from being deleted).

By double-clicking with the left mouse button on this lock, you can remove the lock from the background. A checkmark will appear instead of a padlock.

Now let's take magic wand(toolbar, right column, second button from the top), specify the following parameters: tolerance = 21, checkboxes for smoothing and continuity(usually such parameters are standard), although you can experiment with the parameters; and click on the background of the picture (in our case, on the white background).

Now we delete the background by pressing the “Delete” button and get the image we need with a transparent background.

As a result, the output is the same image with a transparent background.

The only negative of Pixlr- you cannot save the image in the .gif format, which also retains a transparent background, but is much lighter than the .png format. But if there is no other choice, why not take advantage of this?

The main thing is to specify the picture on your computer or phone, and then click OK at the bottom of this page. By default, the plain background of the picture is replaced with a transparent one. The background color of the original image is determined automatically; you just need to specify in the settings what color to replace it with. The main parameter influencing the quality of the replacement is the “Replacement Intensity” and it can be different for each picture.

An example of a photograph of a pink rose without changes and after replacing the plain background with transparent, white and green:


First example with a rose flower on transparent background made with the following settings:
1) Replacement intensity - 38;
2) Smoothing along the edges - 5;
3) Replace the plain background with a transparent one;
4) Trimming (<0) или Добавление (>0) at the edges - "-70";
5) Invert - disabled (not checked).

For creating second example, with a white background, the same settings were used as in the first example, except for the parameter: “Replace plain background with” - white. IN third example, with a green background, the settings are also used as in the first example, except for the parameter: “color in hex format” - #245a2d.

The original image is not changed in any way. You will be provided with another processed picture with a transparent or specified background.

1) Specify an image in BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF format:

2) Settings for replacing a solid background
Replacement intensity: (1-100)

Edge smoothing: (0-100) Replace the plain background with: transparent (PNG-24 only) red pink purple blue turquoise sky lime green yellow orange black gray white or color in hex format: open the Crop palette (<0) или Добавление (>0) at the edges: (from -100 to 100)
(Intensity for additional cropping or adding pixels around a selected area on a transparent background) Invert selection (replace foreground instead of background)

Modern users encounter problems almost every day, while working at the computer, every now and then the need arises to convert a file with one extension to another. It is worth noting that such situations will accompany consumers until such time as they operate and exist personal computers. The need to change the format of pictures is one of the most popular needs; especially often there is a need to convert png to jpg. Often active users social networks or bloggers are faced with the problem of uploading images in PNG format to various services, the fact is that the majority of sites only work with images saved in JPG format. No matter how beautiful and high-quality the file is, it will have to be converted to the required extension. However, despite the apparent complexity, the number software products so great that anyone can easily solve such a computer problem.

Users who do not see any fundamental differences between PNG and JPG should know that these formats differ from each other, first of all, in the methods of maximum image compression and purpose, or rather, in specialized features that predetermine their further logical use.

If we consider the PNG format as an extension designed for creating web graphics (mainly with an additional transparency effect), then JPG format has a much broader purpose. Using this extension, absolutely all images that are not directly related to web graphics can be saved. Most often you can find a similar format when working with photographs. However, despite the various areas of application, some PC owners periodically need to convert png to jpg. However, in some cases there is a need to convert from one format to another.

Possible conversion methods

To turn a png image into a jpg picture, you can actually use a large number of different methods; everyone must choose the most optimal one for themselves, depending on personal preferences and computer skills.

Today Photoshop is a very common product, which is installed on almost every personal computer. Anyone who wants to work professionally with images and, in particular, photographs in the future is trying to master this cunning editor. With this program you can easily convert png to jpg.

To work directly on this graphic editor will be needed installed program and images. The user needs to open a file with a PNG extension, find a subsection called “File” in the menu, and find the “Save As” suggestion in the drop-down list. The window for further saving contains several lists; in addition to the “File name”, you need to specify the corresponding “File type”. To convert to the required format, you need to select the JPEG line; files of this extension can be either *.JPG, *.JPEG or *.JPE. The advantage of this software package lies in its powerful functionality, as evidenced by the ability to create a specific macro that can independently perform some of the same type of actions, for example, renaming a large number of images.

Standard Paint program

A very simple and functional software package that does not need to be installed additionally can help you convert png to jpg. Paint - logical and simple program, which is installed on the computer along with operating system, in addition, unlike Photoshop, it does not require, for example, professional knowledge and an expensive license.

You can use Paint's capabilities immediately after opening the program and the picture. In the list of possible operations presented by Paint, you need to find the “Save As” item, then a small submenu will appear in which you will have to find “Image with JPEG extension.” The user only needs to specify the location where he wants to save the image. However, when working with the built-in editor, you need to be prepared for the fact that the final resulting image may not be as high quality as the original one; this is the disadvantage of the standard program. Photoshop is a more powerful tool that is capable of producing equally high-quality pictures and photos as compared to the received ones.

Specialized sites and services

No less in demand are services and sites that operate online and allow you to convert png to jpg at any time of the day, provided there is Internet access. Despite the fact that the capabilities of most sites presented on the Internet easily and quickly cope with converting files in PNG format, the resulting images as a result of modifications are greatly distorted.

Along with such services, there are many both free and paid utilities that allow you to convert any images. Their main advantage is the ability to quickly batch conversion when there is no need to perform the same action many times. Convertible pictures are opened as a whole folder and converted at once in large quantities.

Conclusion

Convert png format in jpg is quite simple, you just need to arm yourself with a specialized program, which may require the simplest knowledge to work with.
