Frequently Asked Questions

How does the PNG transparency tool work?

Upload a PNG image, then click on the color you want to remove. The tool sets the alpha channel to 0 for all matching pixels within the tolerance range.

What is tolerance?

Tolerance controls how strictly a pixel color is matched. Low tolerance (0-10) matches only the exact color. Higher tolerance matches similar shades, useful for removing anti-aliased edges.

What file format is the result?

The result is saved as a PNG file, which supports transparency. Other formats like JPEG do not support transparent pixels.
