How to use Remove Specific Color from Image
- 1. Upload the image. Add the image containing the color you want to strip out, such as a logo with a solid fill or a graphic with a flat backdrop shade.
- 2. Pick the Color to remove and Tolerance. Use the color picker to select the exact shade to target, then set Tolerance to control how close a pixel's color must be to also become transparent.
- 3. Download the transparent result. Save the PNG once the targeted color is gone from the preview. Every other pixel in the image is left exactly as it was.
When to use Remove Specific Color from Image
Remove Specific Color from Image makes every pixel near a chosen color transparent, letting you target any single shade rather than assuming it sits at the image's edge or background. It works on logos, illustrations and photos alike.
- Dropping a white fill from a logo. A logo file was exported with a solid white background baked in instead of transparency. Selecting white as the color to remove leaves a clean, transparent logo ready to place on any colored page.
- Isolating a colored highlight in a diagram. A screenshot of a diagram has a single accent color you want to hide to see the rest more clearly. Removing that exact color leaves it transparent while everything else stays intact.
- Cleaning up a scanned line drawing. A scanned sketch has a faint colored tint across the paper from the scanner's white balance. Targeting that specific tint color removes it without touching the actual pencil lines.
Examples
Drop the white background
Input
logo.png + color #ffffff
Output
logo.png with white pixels made transparent
