To do so, select your image and open the Trace Bitmap menu by navigating to Path > Trace Bitmap or by pressing Shift + Alt + B on your keyboard: Trace Bitmap opens as a floating menu. The stark contract between the subject and the background means that we can use the Trace Bitmap feature to create a quick auto tracing. However, since we’re working with an image that has a white background, we don’t need to go through all that trouble.

Under normal circumstances, this is done manually using the Bezier Pen. Now that we have our image opened, it’s time to create a vector tracing over the subject of the image so that we can extract it from the white background. This step is unnecessary and purely for demonstrative purposes, but you can do the same if you’d like (instructions here.) Step 2: Create A Tracing Of Your Image Once opened with Inkscape, it should look something like this: Click to enlarge.Īs you can see, I darkened the canvas a bit in order to distinguish it from the white background of the image.
INKSCAPE TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND EXPORT HOW TO
You can learn how to recreate it yourself here. This esports logo is in PNG format and was created with Inkscape for a tutorial I made last year. Hope this helps.In this demonstration I will be deleting the white background to transparent. Select ‘fill background’ – still wrong colour? Don’t worry, I’m not tricking you this time: Now you can see the colour control tool in the right pane zone thing 🙂.Now repeat the intuitive steps above where I tricked you which are, to review:.go to ‘Filter editor” which opens up a kind ofpane zone on the right.Do a Control+z and undo the colour fill and follow this workflow instead:
Not going to lie, I tricked you so you realize in a painful way this workflow is not intuitive. What do you notice? Is it maybe the wrong colour? That’s because this part is super non-intuitive, ha! You can also try out the ‘fill background’ feature as it sometimes does the trick in a nice and easy way… Option 2 – Change the Colour from Colour A to B With the “Fill Background” Filter If you want a different colour, change it there and you shoud have success. Now you should see a ‘white’ colour-picker-thing where the checkboard was.
INKSCAPE TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND EXPORT FULL
change ffffff00 (which is ‘white plus full transparency) to ffffffff (which is ‘white plus zero transparency’).If it looks like a checkerboard, your background is set to ‘fully transparent’ and you’ll be exporting a checkerboard PNG file when you export. At the bottom right you should see ‘Background’ with a ‘background colour’ square colour picker thing.So, in my case, I can often get background stuff figured out by simply moving the alpha slider to 100% or change the RGB settings from fffff00 to fffffff (all fs), especially if the background is supposed to be a simple white background. The main thing to understand first is that Inkscape has a default alpha (transparency) property and it’s set to 0 (fully transparent) by default. So if you are un-skilled, half-skilled, and/or just want to change some background colours in Inkscape – boom! This blog’s for you… Option 1 – Make things Opaque Instead of Transparent Seems easy but it kind of isn’t if you aren’t skilled like me.
