Now press n hold Ctrl key and use the left mouse button to select areas using the Magic Wand tool that you want to remove or make transparent. It will appear on the left side (see image below). After that, use the File menu in Paint.NET to open an image whose background you want to remove.Īfter that, press the F5 hotkey to open its Tools.

Open Paint.NET using its desktop shortcut or Start menu. So, instead of making the image background transparent, you can simply make the entire image semi-transparent or set the opacity level as per your needs to adjust image transparency. Paint.NET also comes with the feature to set the opacity level for the entire image. Once the image will be ready, you can save it as a PNG image or some other supported format that supports a transparent background. The foreground objects or items in the image will remain as it is and the background pixels will have nothing. Then in such a case, you can use Paint.NET and remove the background from the image. Let’s say you have a PNG image with white or some other background and you want that PNG image with a transparent background – or you have a QR code from which you want to remove white areas. In this post, we will help you create a Transparent Image in Paint.NET on Windows 11/10.
