Make sure the Contextual Task Bar is checked by clicking on it in the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img class=\"Sirv\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-create-transparent-background-photoshop\/selection-tool-outline-sock.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop selection tool outlining a purple sock image for background removal\">\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> Task Bar<\/strong> will appear on or near your image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you see it, click <strong>Remove background<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img class=\"Sirv\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-create-transparent-background-photoshop\/sock-isolated-background-removal.jpg\" alt=\"Isolated purple sock image shown during background removal steps in Photoshop\">\n\n\n\n<p>Photoshop will attempt to discern what is your object and what is your background, and show your product images without their background. However, your background isn\u2019t gone; if you look in your <strong>Layers<\/strong> panel you\u2019ll see the background is now masked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img class=\"Sirv\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-create-transparent-background-photoshop\/remove-background-button.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of Photoshop interface showing the highlighted Remove Background button\">\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"insert-cta light\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"grid__item\">\n                Learn how to use layers in Photoshop with this tutorial            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"grid__item action\">\n                <div class=\"btn-arrow btn-arrow-purple\">\n                    <a class=\"btn-path btn-path-blue\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/tagged\/photoshop\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2:&nbsp;Refine the mask<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Photoshop\u2019s new <strong>Remove background<\/strong> tool does a pretty good job in most cases. However, it\u2019s not always perfect. If part of the product is missing, or part of the background is showing, you can fix it by modifying the image mask Photoshop just created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the mask within your Layers panel. The mask is the black and white icon just to the right of the image of your layer. When you select just the mask, a small black outline appears around the mask icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img class=\"Sirv\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-create-transparent-background-photoshop\/background-removed-sock.png\" alt=\"Purple striped sock image with background removed against transparent backdrop\">\n\n\n\n<p>Once in your mask, use the <strong>Brush tool<\/strong> to \u201cpaint\u201d parts of your image back if necessary. You can also use the <strong>Eraser tool<\/strong> to erase more portions of the background. You\u2019ll also see options to <strong>Subtract from Mask<\/strong> and <strong>Add to Mask<\/strong> in the <strong>Contextual Task Bar<\/strong>. These options work the same way as the Brush and Eraser tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img class=\"Sirv\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-create-transparent-background-photoshop\/final-background-color-layer.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop layers panel showing color selection for the sock image background\">\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re happy with how your product looks against the transparent background in Photoshop, you\u2019re ready to save the image in a web-ready format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You haven\u2019t actually removed your background; you merely masked it from view. Therefore, in the future, you can return to this image and add the background back in if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Save your image in the appropriate format<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a transparent background in Photoshop is just the first step\u2014you need to save your product image in the correct format so it displays with a transparent background on your ecommerce website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"\/blogs\/tips\/how-to-pick-the-right-image-file-type-for-your-product-photography\">best format to save your image<\/a> in is as a PNG-24. This format allows for multiple layers of transparency, meaning your image will never have a pixelated &#8220;halo&#8221; when placed on a different color background. Older transparent file formats such as PNG-8 and GIF can create this undesirable halo effect, so whenever possible, use a PNG-24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"insert-cta light\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"grid__item\">\n                Find out how to reformat, resize, and optimize your images for the web            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"grid__item action\">\n                <div class=\"btn-arrow btn-arrow-purple\">\n                    <a class=\"btn-path btn-path-blue\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/tips-tools-and-how-to-reduce-image-file-size-without-sacrificing-quality\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>To save your file as a PNG-24 in Photoshop 2024, type <strong>SHIFT<\/strong>+<strong>ALT<\/strong>+<strong>CTRL<\/strong>+<strong>W<\/strong> (<strong>SHIFT<\/strong>+<strong>OPTION<\/strong>+<strong>COMMAND<\/strong>+<strong>W<\/strong> on a Mac) or choose <strong>File<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Export<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Export<\/strong> <strong>As\u2026<\/strong> from the dropdown menu at the top of the application window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: If you\u2019re using an older version of Photoshop, and you don\u2019t see the <strong>Export As&#8230;<\/strong> option, you can choose <strong>Save for Web<\/strong> and select <strong>PNG-24<\/strong> from the <strong>Preset<\/strong> dropdown menu on the right of the dialog box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img class=\"Sirv\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-create-transparent-background-photoshop\/color-layer-selection-tool.jpg\" alt=\"Selection of a color layer for the background in Photoshop interface\">\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In the dialog box that appears, under <strong>File Settings<\/strong> on the right side of the box, set the <strong>Format to PNG<\/strong>, and make sure the Transparency box is checked. Do not check Smaller File (8-bit)\u2014this converts the file to a PNG-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img class=\"Sirv\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-create-transparent-background-photoshop\/apply-color-overlay-option.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop's color overlay option being applied to the sock image background\">\n\n\n\n<p>On the left-hand side of the image you\u2019ll see the file size predicted for your PNG file. This is important to keep an eye on because larger file sizes will make your web page load more slowly. It\u2019s a good idea to keep web images at around 200 KB or smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the right-hand side of your dialog box, under <strong>Image Size<\/strong>, you have the option to adjust the dimensions of your image. Smaller dimensions mean a smaller file size. However, you don&#8217;t want to make your image\u2019s dimensions smaller than you want them to appear on your website, otherwise you\u2019ll have blurry or pixelated images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, with many of your customers viewing your product on a retina display, it\u2019s good practice to save your product image at a size 50%\u2013100% larger than the size you expect it to display. This will help it look crisp on all devices. In other words, if you know your product will show at 400px wide at its maximum, you&#8217;ll want to make it at least 600px wide here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you\u2019ll need to work with a bit of balance to maximize your image size while minimizing your file size. To minimize load time, you can choose only to have your featured product images saved larger for retina displays, and allow the bulk of your product images to be saved at actual size.<a name=\"savefile\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Save your file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve set your <strong>Image<\/strong> <strong>Size<\/strong> to proper dimensions, click <strong>Export<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Save<\/strong> dialog box, choose the folder where you keep your web-ready product images. It\u2019s a good idea to keep your optimized image files separate from your original image files to avoid confusion when loading your images onto your site. Name the image file and make sure its extension is set to .png.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <strong>Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"insert-cta light\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"grid__item\">\n                Get digital asset management tips to organize your photos and maintain your sanity            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"grid__item action\">\n                <div class=\"btn-arrow btn-arrow-purple\">\n                    <a class=\"btn-path btn-path-blue\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/digital-asset-management-how-to-organize-product-photography-files\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>You can now place your transparent product image against different backgrounds on your site and have it display perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img class=\"Sirv\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/how-create-transparent-background-photoshop\/text-tool-logo.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop interface showing text tool being used to create a logo with the word \"logo\" in different colors\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to create a transparent background for a logo in Photoshop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#logoopen\">Open your logo file in Photoshop<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#logomake\">Make your background transparent<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#logosave\">Save your image as a PNG file<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The logo you use on your website should always have a transparent background.

This is because logos tend to have only one or two colors, unlike the thousands of colors that exist in a product image.
