How to make a logo background transparent
- Upload your logo (JPG or PNG).
- Keep the White preset selected, or click “Pick from Image” and click the background if it is off-white or cream.
- Raise the tolerance slowly until the background disappears completely; stop before parts of the logo start to vanish.
- Turn on edge smoothing to clean up jagged outlines.
- Download the transparent PNG.
Why logos end up with white backgrounds
Logos are often exported as JPG, emailed, or screenshotted from a PDF - and JPG has no transparency, so the empty area becomes solid white. Placed on a coloured website header, a T-shirt mock-up or a slide, that white box looks unprofessional. Removing it gives you a PNG that sits cleanly on any background.
Getting clean edges
JPG compression leaves faint grey or off-white pixels around edges. A tolerance a little above the default usually catches them. If your logo contains white shapes of its own (white text inside a coloured badge, for example), keep tolerance lower: the tool removes every pixel that matches the background colour, wherever it is.
For the sharpest result, start from the largest version of the logo you have, remove the background, and only then resize it.
Private and free
Your logo is processed on a canvas in your browser and never uploaded, which is useful for unreleased branding and client work. There is no watermark and no limit on how many logos you can process.
Frequently asked questions
Can I remove a black or coloured background instead?
Yes. Choose the Black preset, or use “Pick from Image” to sample any solid colour.
Why does my downloaded logo still show a white box?
Some image viewers display transparency as white. Place the PNG on a coloured background (for example in a document or slide) to confirm it is transparent.
Does it work on photos?
Only when the photo has a plain, solid-colour background. It is a colour remover, not an AI cut-out tool.
