Description Edit: Now when you choose the color of you're background, you can choose from the pallete that appears upon clicking "choose" OR you can simply click the background of your image to select the color that you would like to be transparent. This is stated on the website when you click the option "transparent"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: This tutorial may be misleading in the way the image is placed back into the tutorial. ONCE YOU HAVE CONVERTED AN IMAGE, YOU CANNOT EDIT IT IN PAINT ANY FURTHER, otherwise the transparency will be reset to a white/black background!

If you are trying to layer images in MS Paint, GO TO THIS TUTORIAL: fav.me/d7h30b3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: Iaza is now known as Ezimba, so don't be confused when you type in Iaza.com and are taken to Ezimba.com! It's the same thing and this tutorial is still accurate to that website. Just remember to click "Transparent" rather than "Transparent+" so as not to cause confusion

LARGE PICTURE!!!
anywayy i was asked how i make transparent backgrounds in ms paint and so i decided it would be easiest to just make a tutorial for you all

i'll probably put it in my scraps later
also this is just the way i do it. I'm sure there are other ways of making a transparent background, but this is the method i use

hope it helps! let me know if you found this useful

could you show me, how to make stuff transparent after 150 pixels? Β I don't understand the last part...

Wickerish In reply to Star-Paint-pony [2014-11-19 22:53:15 +0000 UTC]

After you make the picture transparent, hit "return to home page". Then from there hit "convert to png"

Is this work to make journal doll??

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Wickerish In reply to Bloodleaf123 [2014-09-27 17:05:45 +0000 UTC]

If the journal doll is not animated, yes
If the journal doll is animated and 150x150 pixels or smaller, yes (just dont convert it to a .png or it will take away the animation)
if the journal doll is animated and bigger than 150x150 pixels, yes BUT you WILL need a preview image to post on deviantart (dont convert to .png)

Wickerish In reply to worrmm [2014-09-03 20:36:45 +0000 UTC]

did you hit "convert to png"?
also if you did that's the last step you do, you can't do any other conversions after you convert it to a .png file, otherwise it will just go back to .gif

My picture dosen't seem to work.
Whenever i press Convert to PNG then press the Transparent button my 567 x 506 picture dosen't seem to make it a PNG,it is constantly a GIF.
Can you please help me out?

Wickerish In reply to ElementMLP [2014-08-29 12:40:32 +0000 UTC]

You have to make it transparent THEN convert it to .png and save
the image isn't terribly big, I don't believe you should have problems with that

How big is the picture?
