Not all graphic formats support image transparency, so if you need to create a picture file containing invisible areas, you must use an application that has the option to save the result of work in the required formats. The most common graphics editor used today to create and modify images is Adobe Photoshop - of course, it can save images with transparent backgrounds.

To open the corresponding dialog open the "File" section in the menu and select the "New" command or just press the key combination ctrl + n. Specify the dimensions in the "Width" and "Height" fields. Make sure Transparent is selected in the Background Content drop-down list, and then click OK.
Step 2
Insert your picture into the created document with a transparent background. If it is stored in a file, then open the same section “File” in the menu of the graphical editor and select the command “Place”. As a result, a window will open in which you need to find the desired file, select it and click the "Place" button. The picture will be placed in the center of the document and the transform mode will be immediately activated - you can move the image with the mouse or using the navigation keys. In addition, in this mode, you can resize the inserted image, change its proportions and rotate.
Step 3
Select the quality settings and select the format of the saved image. To do this, in the File section, select the Save For Web & Devices command, or use the shift + ctrl + alt="Image" + s keyboard shortcut. First of all, select the format for saving - there are two drop-down lists in the upper right corner of the window for this. Transparency is supported by.
