About Remove Background Color

Removing a solid background color makes it transparent, so the subject can be placed on any other background. This is particularly handy for logos, signatures, stamps and graphics that were saved on a white or flat colored background.

Golden PDF lets you pick the color to remove and downloads the result as a PNG so transparency is preserved. It works best on flat, even backgrounds; busy photographic backgrounds are not suited to this method. Processing is local, so your images are never uploaded.

Common uses

  • Make a logo transparent for use on websites and slides
  • Place a scanned signature on a document
  • Prepare icons and graphics for design projects
  • Remove a plain white background from product shots

Tips for best results

  • Start with a clean, high-contrast image for crisp edges.
  • If edges look jagged, try a higher resolution source.
  • Save the result as PNG; JPG does not support transparency.
