How Do I Get Rid of the Checkered Background in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:48 pm

The checkered background in Photoshop is called the transparency grid, and it’s there to help you see which areas of your image are transparent. If you want to get rid of the checkered background, you can do so by changing the background color in the Preferences dialog box.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, you may end up with a checkered background in your Photoshop file. To avoid this, be sure to save your work regularly and frequently check the background layer to ensure that it is solid white.

To change the background color, go to Edit > Preferences > Interface. In the Color section, click on the square next to Background and choose a different color. You can also check the box next to “Use dark theme” to change the color of the transparency grid to black.

Once you’ve changed the background color, the transparency grid will no longer be visible. If you want to turn it back on, simply go back into the Preferences dialog box and uncheck the box next to “Use dark theme.”
