Seriously! PowerPoint has amazing photo capabilities for the everyday user. By far, the quickest, easiest and cleanest way to do it is using Microsoft PowerPoint. I’ve played with lots of different programs to take the background out of images because it’s something I do quite often. With a transparent background, you can layer images over any color or any other object and be able to see the background (below right). Therefore, when you lay it over a colored background or other images, you will still see the white box around it (below left). If the background of an image is solid white (or has any other color/design to it), it doesn’t have a transparent background. Most times though, the image will be a JPEG with a solid white background (shown below left). Sometimes you will be able to find images with a transparent background already and you’ll know it because the area surrounding the image has a pattern of small grey squares around it (below right). Today, I want to show you how to remove backgrounds from images using…PowerPoint!īefore I dive into the tutorial, let’s just quickly review what I mean when I say “transparent background.” If you were to search for and save an image for use on a design board or other project, you will likely come across several different file types. You might think you need fancy computer software or graphic design skills to give images a transparent background, but I have a super simple way of doing it that I’ve been using for years. Not only does it make assembling those fancy design boards pretty simple, but this trick is also helpful if you are needing to make party invitations, flyers, decor, cut files etc. Whether you are a blogger or not, being able to remove the backgrounds of images is a pretty handy skill. As I was outlining all the steps, I realized it might be useful to share this quick tutorial in a post all of its own. Later this week, I am going to be sharing my (much anticipated!) tutorial for creating virtual design boards.
