this is Nick with logos by Nick comm and
in this tutorial I'll be demonstrating
how you can make a logo background
transparent without any software
whatsoever you can do this entirely
through the web so the first thing I
want to do here is open up my web
browser and navigate to this website
called photo P comm I'll put a link down
in the description of the video
otherwise you can just type this into
your web browser and what you're gonna
see here is what you see on my screen
this is basically like a web-based
version of Photoshop it's not quite
Photoshop but it's very similar in
functions in a lot of the same ways so
what I want to do here is I want to come
over here to where it says file and
click on that and I'm gonna go to open
and I'm gonna navigate to where I have
my logo file I'm gonna use this logo
example dot PNG I'm gonna open that up
with photo P and if you notice here I
have my logo on top of a yellow
background let's say I want to make this
background transparent I have to get rid
of this yellow background in order to do
that so to do that I'm gonna come over
here to this tool on the tool bar over
here that says object selection and I'm
gonna click and hold on that until we
get this flyout menu and from this
flyout menu I'm going to choose magic
wand
and what the magic wand selected I'll
just go ahead and click on this yellow
area over here it doesn't matter where
you click just go ahead and click
anywhere and it's gonna create a
selection around the entire yellow area
and once we have that selection created
that I'm just gonna press Delete on the
keyboard to get rid of that now before I
go any further I just want to zoom in on
this to make sure it deleted all of it
so I'm gonna hold alt and roll up the
mouse wheel a couple of times to zoom in
if you notice here there's still some
yellow pixels around the edges of the
letters it didn't quite delete all of
the background so what I'm going to do
is I'm gonna zoom back out again to zoom
you're just holding alt and rolling down
the mouse wheel I'm gonna undo what I
just did by going to control I'm gonna
press control Z on the keyboard and then
I'm gonna undo the selection by pressing
ctrl Z again and what I want to do is
where it says tolerance up here in these
tool settings I want to make this a lot
higher I'm gonna try something like 1:30
and see how that looks maybe even like
125 we'll give that a try
we'll deuce 126 and I'm gonna click on
this again and I'm gonna try this again
on a prison delete on the keyboard now
let me zoom in again to see how it looks
as you can see we got rid of those
yellow frag
there's looking pretty good so now what
I'm going to do is I'm going to get rid
of these little areas of negative space
between the letters I'm gonna click on
that area right there press delete click
on that area press delete same thing
over here with these letters delete that
as well to move the page over you can
hold down the spacebar and click and
drag like this click on that press
delete and now we can zoom back out and
I want to make sure I get rid of the
selection so I'm gonna go to select
deselect and what I'm gonna do now is
I'm gonna export this I'm gonna go to
file export as and make sure you choose
dot PNG because JPEG files don't support
transparency so if you want your logo to
have a transparent background you have
to choose dot PNG I'll click on that
I'll click on save I'll keep those
settings just as they are and in your
download area here it should pop up I'm
gonna go ahead and click on that and
there you go there's my logo that now
has a transparent background so I think
that should do it for this tutorial
that's how you can go about making your
logos background transparent if you have
any questions let me know and as always
thanks for watching
