Basic Knowledge
What is Transparent PNG
Transparent PNG is a PNG image that can preserve a transparent background, making it ideal for logos and stamp materials since it blends seamlessly with any background color. By convention, transparent areas are displayed with a checkered pattern.
How Color-Based Transparency Works and Its Limitations
This method makes pixels similar to a specified color transparent all at once, so the cleaner the removal when the background is close to a single color. If the subject contains colors similar to the background, those areas are also removed, so you need to adjust the color range to find a compromise.
