How do I make a background transparent?

1. Upload your image to VEED's transparent background maker. 2. Click 'Remove background' and select Remove. 3. Download your image as PNG. The transparency is preserved, so you can use it on any background.

What file format do I need for transparent backgrounds?

PNG is the standard format for transparent backgrounds. JPEGs don't support transparency; if you save a transparent image as JPEG, the transparent areas fill with a solid color. Other formats like GIF and WebP also support transparency, but PNG is the most widely compatible. VEED exports background-removed images as PNG to preserve transparency.

What can I use transparent background images for?

Common uses include: - Logos for websites and documents - Product photos for e-commerce listings - Profile pictures and headshots - YouTube thumbnails - Watermarks and signatures - Stickers and graphics for social media - Overlays for video projects

Is the transparent background maker free?

VEED’s transparent background maker uses a credit-based system. Background removal costs credits per use. A paid plan with AI credit add-ons gives you access to the transparent background editor, AI background replacement, and the option to bring images into video projects. Check our pricing page for current plans.
