In the file that opens, select the entire image and copy it to the clipboard. This can be done by sequentially pressing the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + A and Ctrl + C.
Step 2
Create a new file by pressing Ctrl + N. In the window that opens, specify a transparent background color, select the "Clipboard" set. To paste the copied image into a new file, press Ctrl + V. Now you need to select all areas that are white. Use the Magic Wand tool. Set the tool tolerance to 2. Click on the white background of the picture. The selected area can be deleted with the Delete button. If using this tool, other parts of the image that are similar in color to white are also selected, reduce the tolerance to one.
