About Transparent Background Maker
This tool makes one color in an image transparent, which is known as color keying. Every pixel whose RGB distance from the chosen color falls within the tolerance gets an alpha of zero, wherever it is in the picture. It suits logos, signatures, and scans on a flat background. It is not an AI background remover and cannot separate a person or object from a photo. Output is PNG.
Also known as: PNG Background Remover, Transparent PNG Maker.

Questions about Transparent Background Maker
Can this remove the background from a photo of a person?
No. The tool removes one flat color and has no idea what the subject is. A photo background has many shades and shares colors with the subject, so the result will be patchy. Use a subject-aware background remover for photos.
Why did parts of my logo turn transparent too?
Any pixel close to the removed color is cleared, even inside the artwork, such as white highlights when removing a white background. Lower the tolerance, or pick a background color that does not occur in the logo.
Why is there a faint halo around the edges?
Anti-aliased edge pixels are a blend of the artwork and the background, so they fall outside the tolerance and stay visible. Raising the tolerance removes more of them. Edges are cut hard, with no feathering.
