Inserting Transparent Pngs: Paint App Guide

There are several ways to insert a PNG with no background into Paint. One way is to use an online tool such as remove.bg, which allows users to drag and drop their image, removing the background in just a few seconds. Another way is to use Microsoft Paint or Paint 3D, which allow users to cut out the image from the background, making it transparent. Additionally, other photo editing software such as Fotor, PhotoWorks, and ACDSee Photo Studio offer tools to remove backgrounds and save images with transparent backgrounds as PNG files.

Using Photoroom

Photoroom is an AI photo editing app that can be used to make the background of an image transparent. Photoroom is available as a mobile app and on the web. It is a user-friendly tool that allows users to edit photos in seconds, making them look professional.

To use Photoroom, you can either download the mobile app or go to Photoroom Web. Set up an account and log in. To remove the background of an image, click on "Remove Background" at the top or "+Start from Photo" at the bottom to add your image. Photoroom's AI will automatically detect the object in the image and remove the background. You can then choose to add any colour as the background or use Photoroom's AI Background Generator to find suitable background images. Photoroom also has a white background library, which provides different patterns and textures.

If you want to add a new background to your image, you can do so by selecting one from your gallery, choosing from Photoroom's catalog, or using the Instant Backgrounds feature to create custom backgrounds. Photoroom also offers different template themes that can be used to bring products to life for customers. Once you have selected a template, click "Apply new template" and your image will fit into the design. You can make adjustments by clicking on the elements within the template.

Photoroom also allows you to add text to your image, manipulate your photo, and more. When you are happy with your final work, click "Download" in the upper right corner of the screen to save your new image.

Using PhotoWorks

PhotoWorks is an intuitive photo editing tool from AMS Software. It is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool that can be used to add a new background to a picture. It is lightweight and can be used on low-end computers without a dedicated GPU. It also has two modes of operation: GPU and CPU mode.

To get started, download and install the PhotoWorks software on your computer. Once installed, open the application and click the "Open Photo" button to browse and select the photo for which you want to change the background. You will then see four tabs on top of the photo. Select the "Tools" tab. Here, you will find three brush options: Object, Background, and Eraser.

Use the green Object brush to make a rough marking inside the subject of your photo. You can vary the brush size slider to paint smaller areas of the subject. Once you have completed the subject selection, use the red background brush to select the background by drawing lines outside the subject. You can use the Eraser to remove any unwanted lines. Once you are done, you will see the background area become transparent.

After making the background transparent, you can choose to add a new background. You can select a plain colour, a built-in image, or upload your own picture as the new background. When you are finished, apply the changes and save the edited picture with a different background. You can save the image with a transparent background in the PNG format by clicking the "Apply" button and then clicking "Save".

Using Paint 3D

Paint 3D is a more sophisticated version of Microsoft Paint. To use Paint 3D, you need to have Windows 10 or 11. The background removal process is similar to MS Paint, but with some differences in the tools and steps.

• Launch Paint 3D on your PC.
• Click on the "Menu" button in the top left corner and select "Open" to browse and choose the image file you want to remove the background from.
• Click on the "Magic Select" tool on the toolbar and adjust the section you want to keep. Use the "Add" and "Remove" icons to adjust your selection accordingly. Click "Done" when you are satisfied.
• Delete the remaining part of the image that you do not want to keep.
• Make the canvas transparent by clicking on "Canvas" in the toolbar and selecting the "Transparent Canvas" option.
• Save your image by going to "Menu" > "Save as" > "Image" and choosing the ".png" file format. This will ensure that the transparency is retained.

Now that you have an image with a transparent background, you can overlay it on another image or use it in various applications, such as slides or graphic design tools.

• Open Paint 3D and click on the "Menu" button.
• Select "Open" and choose the image you want to use as the background.
• Click on the "Menu" button again and choose the "Insert" option.
• Browse and select the transparent image you created earlier.
• Resize, rotate, or adjust the transparent image as needed.
• Once you are satisfied, click on the "Menu" button and select "Save" to save your final image.

By following these steps, you can effectively insert a PNG with no background into Paint 3D and utilize its features for your creative projects.

Using MS Paint

Microsoft Paint is a basic image editing program that comes pre-installed on Windows computers. While the traditional MS Paint program doesn't allow you to create a transparent image, there are some workarounds you can use to achieve a similar effect.

• Open Microsoft Paint on your PC by searching for it in the Start menu or Windows search bar.
• Once MS Paint is open, click on "File" in the top-left corner, then select "Open" to browse your files and choose the image you want to edit.
• With the image open in Paint, click on the "Select" button at the top of the menu bar. From the list of options, choose "Transparent Selection".
• Now, you can use the "Free-form selection" tool to select the area of the image you want to keep. This will allow you to select the image without any restrictions.
• Right-click on the selected area and press "Cut" to remove it from the image. You can also use the Add and Remove tabs to refine your selection if needed.
• Open a new file in Paint by clicking "File" and then "New". You can also use an existing image by selecting "File" and then "Open".
• Press "Ctrl + V" or right-click and select "Paste" to paste the cut image onto the new file. You can also click "Paste" from the "Clipboard" panel in the top-left corner.
• If there are any white edges around the pasted image, use the brush tool to paint over them. Zoom in and be careful not to colour within the image.
• Save your image as a PNG file by going to Menu > Save as > PNG Image.

Please note that this method will not create a transparent background in the traditional sense. Instead, it allows you to cut out the desired part of your image and paste it onto a different background.
