Remove the background from a logo
Free, no signup, and your image never leaves your device.
Logos are the easiest thing there is to cut out and the easiest to get subtly wrong. The colours are flat, so the match is clean — but the gaps inside letters are background too, and a connected fill will never reach them.
Why these settings
Colour mode with connectivity off, so the counters inside O, A, P and R clear along with the outside. Tolerance stays low because a logo's colours are flat and exact; a high setting would start eating the lighter parts of the mark itself.
Settings to start from
- How to find the background
- By colour
- Tolerance
- 24
- Only the area connected to the edges
- Off
- File type
- PNG — transparent, lossless
Step by step
- Drop a logo onto the page, paste it, or choose the file.
- Apply the settings above — they are a starting point, not a rule.
- Check the edges at full size, and fix anything left with the brush.
- Choose transparent or a solid colour, then download.
What to watch out for
Check the inside of every enclosed letter and any gap in the mark before you export. A logo with one filled counter is the kind of mistake that survives all the way to print.
Common questions
What is the best way to remove the background from a logo?
Use the settings above as a starting point, then check the edges at full size. Most of the work is choosing the right mode; the sliders only fine-tune it.
Is a logo uploaded to a server?
No. It is decoded and processed entirely in your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere. There is no server to send it to.
Is there a watermark or a limit?
Neither. No watermark is added, there is no cap on how many images you process, and no account is needed.
