How do I create a transparent background in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 7:39 pm

Creating a transparent background in Photoshop is simple. First, open the file you want to use as a background. Next, select the Background layer in the Layers panel. Next, select the Brush tool and choose a light, airy brush.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful when creating a transparent background in Photoshop, you may end up with a picture that has a white or black background instead of being truly transparent.

Paint over the entire background with the brush until it is completely transparent. Finally, choose the Heal option from the Tools panel and use the default settings to blend the background into the image.
