Today, we are going to learn, How to Make Logo Transparent using Pixelmator Pro.
So without any further delay, let's get started!
Basically, we are going to remove background from logo and make logo transparent. So, we'll take
a logo image like this and turn this into something like this, let me show you how to do that.
Actually, the fact is: I have got the logo image file here that we want to make transparent.
So, in order to make this Instagram 3D logo transparent using Pixelmator Pro. First, I will need to open this
using Pixelmator Pro. So I'll simply right click on this and then select open with
and under that I have got various options, and I'll need to choose Pixelmator Pro.
And this will basically, open the logo image in Pixelmator Pro.
And here you can see that, on the left, we have got layers, and here, in the middle,
we have canvas, and here in the right side area, you can see that we have got all the tools that are
professional editing tools offered by Pixelmator Pro. But the good thing is:
we won't need all of these tools today. We'll only need a single tool to remove background from logo
and make logo transparent. And the name of the tool is: Quick Selection tool.
Here is it. So, simply click on that and then if you hover over here and
click on the bottom right area, you get these options for quick selection and color selection.
We'll be using quick section today. And then, select New to create a new selection.
And now, I'll move the cursor to canvas area and make a selection from logo area.
like this. I am just moving my cursor by holding it so that it is selecting the logo area.
By the way, make sure you move slowly near edges so that it detects it much better.
First, I'll select the outer area and then I'll move to inner area. So let me just slowly select it.
And now, I'll be selecting the inner area
like that.
I just need to make sure that entire logo area is selected with yellow colour.
And now, as you can see the entire logo area is selected. By the way, a quick little tip for you:
If you keep the brush size smaller, it'll be much easier for you to make a fine selection near edges and curves.
So now, after a bit of struggle, we have finally selected the entire logo area. And, you know what?
There is a much easier and quicker way to make quick selection in Pixelmator Pro.
And I am going to tell you exactly that. So pay close attention and keep watching!
As you can see, currently the entire logo area is selected. So, in order to show you that,
first, I'll deselect it by clicking in the outer area or simply clicking here on deselect.
And then, to select it again in a much quicker way I'll go here and select this select subject option.
This will basically be automatically making a selection of the subject of the image.
So I'll click on that, and wait for a few seconds. And as you can see it's currently detecting the subject
and refining edges and this may take a few seconds. And within few seconds it will select the entire
subject of the image just like that. Alright! Now, that you know the quicker method to make a selection,
it's time to proceed in the tutorial to make this logo transparent. So, the next step is:
click on this invert tool and turn the selection inside out. And, what this basically did is.
This deselected the inner area, and selected the outer area. So the entire image outside logo is currently selected.
And now we are ready to remove the background. So, in order to remove the background that is
currently the entire selection area, we'll simply press delete button on the keyboard.
And that will remove the background just like this. So as you can see the logo background is now removed,
and we have got a transparent logo right now. So we are ready to export this image.
So simply, click on this share icon and then from these various options select export for web.
And here, you again get these options to select the format of the image file.
Whether you want to keep JPEG, GIF, WEBP, SVG or PNG.
I would recommend you to keep it PNG so that the logo will be transparent.
And then, simply click this Export button to export this image. I'll rename it first Instagram 3D transparent logo.
And then click this Export button to export this. Further, if you want you may also save this project like this.
