What it does
Transparent PNG Maker removes a chosen colour from an image to create a transparent PNG.

How do I make an image background transparent?
Make a background transparent by uploading your image and clicking the colour you want to remove; the tool erases that colour (and similar shades within a tolerance) and exports a PNG with a transparent background. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
