Navigating to Photo Pea

To make a logo background transparent without any software, you can do this entirely through the web. The first thing you need to do is open up your web browser and navigate to a website called Photo P. You can type this website into your web browser or find the link in the video description.

Photo Pea is a web-based version of Photoshop that functions in a lot of the same ways. Once you are on the website, you will see a toolbar with various options. Click on the “File” option, and then click “Open” to navigate to where you have your logo file.

Once you have your logo file open in Photo P, you will see your logo on top of a yellow background. To make the background transparent, you have to get rid of the yellow background. To do this, click on the “Object Selection” tool on the toolbar. Click and hold on this tool until you get a flyout menu, and then choose “Magic Wand.”

With the Magic Wand tool selected, click on the yellow area of the background. This will create a selection around the entire yellow area. Press the “Delete” key on your keyboard to get rid of the yellow background. If there are still some yellow pixels around the edges of the letters, you can increase the tolerance in the tool settings to get rid of them.

Next, you will need to get rid of the little areas of negative space between the letters. Click on each area and press “Delete.” To move the page over, hold down the spacebar and click and drag. Once you have finished editing your logo, export it as a .PNG file by going to “File” and then “Export As.”

Opening Logo File

To make a logo background transparent without any software, you can do this entirely through the web. The first thing you need to do is open up your web browser and navigate to the website called Photo Pea. You can also type this into your web browser. Once you are on the website, you will see a web-based version of Photoshop, which is very similar in functions in a lot of the same ways.

To open your logo file, click on the “File” option on the toolbar and select “Open.” Navigate to where you have saved your logo file and select it. For instance, you can use the logo example dot PNG. Once you have opened the logo file, you will see your logo on top of a yellow background.

If you want to make the background transparent, you will have to get rid of the yellow background. To do that, click on the “Object Selection” tool on the toolbar and select “Magic Wand” from the flyout menu. Once you have selected the “Magic Wand,” click on the yellow area over here. It doesn’t matter where you click, just go ahead and click anywhere. It will create a selection around the entire yellow area. Press the “Delete” button on the keyboard to get rid of that.

If you notice that there are still some yellow pixels around the edges of the letters, you can zoom in on the logo to make sure it deleted all of it. Hold “Alt” and roll up the mouse wheel a couple of times to zoom in. If there are still some yellow pixels, zoom back out again by holding “Alt” and rolling down the mouse wheel. Then, undo what you just did by going to “Control” and pressing “Z” on the keyboard.

Selecting Object Tool

To make a logo background transparent, you need to select the object tool on the Photo Pea website. Click on the “File” option from the toolbar and select “Open” to navigate to your logo file. Once you have opened the file, you will see your logo on top of a yellow background. To remove the yellow background, you need to select the “Object Selection” tool from the toolbar. Click and hold on the tool until you get a flyout menu, and then select the “Magic Wand” option.

With the Magic Wand selected, click on the yellow area of the logo. This will create a selection around the yellow area. Press the “Delete” key on your keyboard to remove the yellow background. If there are any remaining yellow pixels around the edges of the letters, you can increase the tolerance level in the tool settings to remove them.

To remove the negative space between the letters, click on the areas and press “Delete.” You can move the page over by holding down the spacebar and clicking and dragging. Once you have removed all the unwanted areas, you can deselect the selection by going to “Select” and choosing “Deselect.”

Now that you have removed the background, you can export the logo with a transparent background. Go to “File” and select “Export As.” Choose the “.PNG” format because JPEG files do not support transparency. Click on “Save” and your logo will be saved with a transparent background.

That’s how you can easily make your logo background transparent without using any software. If you have any questions, let us know.

Using Magic Wand

To make a logo background transparent, you can use the Magic Wand tool in Photo Pea. After opening your logo file in Photo P, select the Magic Wand tool from the toolbar. Click on the yellow background to create a selection around it. Press Delete on your keyboard to get rid of the yellow background.

If the Magic Wand tool does not completely delete the background, increase the tolerance settings in the tool settings. Try a higher tolerance setting, such as 125 or 130, until the background is completely removed.

After deleting the background, you may notice small areas of negative space between the letters. Click on these areas and press Delete to remove them. To move the page over, hold down the spacebar and click and drag.

Once you have removed the background and negative space, deselect the selection and export your logo as a PNG file. Remember that JPEG files do not support transparency, so choosing a PNG file is necessary for a transparent background.

Using the Magic Wand tool in Photo Pea is a simple and effective way to make a logo background transparent without any software. With just a few clicks, you can create a professional and polished logo with a transparent background.

Deleting Selected Area

To delete a selected area in your logo and make the background transparent, you can use the object selection tool in Photo Pea. First, open your logo file in Photo Pea by navigating to File > Open. Once your logo is open, select the object selection tool and choose the magic wand option from the flyout menu.

Click on the yellow background of your logo to create a selection around the entire area. Press the Delete key on your keyboard to remove the yellow background. If there are still some yellow pixels around the edges of the letters, increase the tolerance level in the tool settings to 125 or higher. Click on the yellow area again and press Delete to remove any remaining background.

To remove any negative space between the letters, click on the areas and press Delete. You can move the page over by holding down the spacebar and clicking and dragging. Once you have deleted all the selected areas, deselect the selection by going to Select > Deselect.

Finally, export your logo as a PNG file to ensure that it has a transparent background. Go to File > Export As and choose PNG. Keep the settings as they are and save the file. Your logo should now have a transparent background.

Adjusting Tolerance

When removing the background from your logo using Photopea, you may notice that some areas of the background are still visible even after using the Magic Wand tool. This is because the tolerance level is set too low.

To adjust the tolerance level, go to the tool settings and find the “Tolerance” option. Increase the tolerance level to around 125-130, and then try using the Magic Wand tool again. This should help remove any remaining areas of the background.

After adjusting the tolerance level, zoom in to your logo and check if there are any remaining areas of the background. If there are, you can repeat the process by increasing the tolerance level until you achieve the desired result.

It’s important to note that increasing the tolerance level too much can also remove parts of your logo that you want to keep. So, it’s best to find a balance between removing the background and keeping the integrity of your logo.

Once you’re satisfied with the result, you can export your logo as a PNG file to ensure that the background is transparent. Remember, JPEG files do not support transparency, so it’s important to choose the right file type.

That’s it! Adjusting the tolerance level can help you achieve a clean and professional-looking logo with a transparent background.

Deleting Negative Spaces

To delete negative spaces in your logo, you need to click on the area between the letters and press delete. This will remove the negative space and make your logo look more professional. You can do this by using the object selection tool and selecting the area you want to delete. Then, press delete on your keyboard to remove it.

If there are still some areas of negative space left, you can zoom in and increase the tolerance level in the tool settings. This will help you to remove the remaining negative space. Once you have removed all the negative space, you can export your logo as a PNG file.

To export your logo, go to File > Export As and choose PNG as the file format. Make sure to keep the settings as they are and click on Save. Your logo will now have a transparent background and will look more professional.

In conclusion, deleting negative spaces is an important step in making your logo look more professional. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can easily remove negative spaces and export your logo as a PNG file with a transparent background.

Deselecting and Exporting

Now that you have removed the background from your logo, it’s time to deselect and export it. To deselect the logo, go to the Select menu and choose Deselect. This will remove the selection box from around your logo and allow you to see the entire image.

Next, you will need to export your logo as a PNG file in order to preserve the transparency. To do this, go to the File menu and choose Export As. Make sure to select PNG as the file type and choose a location to save the file. You can keep the default settings for the rest of the options.

Once you have exported your logo, you can use it in any project that requires a transparent background. This is particularly useful for websites and other digital media where you want your logo to blend seamlessly into the background.

By following these simple steps, you can easily make your logo background transparent without using any software. This is a great way to improve the look of your logo and make it more versatile for use in a variety of settings.

Saving and Finalizing

Now that you have successfully made your logo background transparent, it’s time to save and finalize your work.

To do this, go to “File” and select “Export As” from the drop-down menu. Make sure to choose “.PNG” as the file format since JPEG files do not support transparency.

Once you have selected the PNG format, choose a name for your file and click “Save.” Keep the settings as they are, and your file will be exported and saved to your download folder.

Congratulations! You have now successfully made your logo background transparent using Photopea, a web-based version of Photoshop. You can use this technique to make your logos stand out on any background.
