How to Use Transparent PNG Images in Your Design Projects
Transparent PNGs are one of the most versatile assets in any designer's toolkit. Here is how to get the most out of them.
Transparent PNG images let you place a graphic on top of any background without an unwanted box around it. That makes them perfect for logos, product cut-outs, stickers, presentations and social media graphics.
Why PNG?
The PNG format supports an alpha channel, which stores transparency information for every pixel. Unlike JPG, it preserves crisp edges and is lossless, so your graphics stay sharp.
Tips for Working With PNGs
- Use the highest resolution you need, then resize down with our resize tool.
- Compress large files with the compress tool to keep pages fast.
- Convert between formats with the convert tool when you need JPG or WebP.
