How do you remove the background from jpg?

'locked' may refer to OS attributes set to 'read-only' or such

in respect if jpeg I think this is more common on Apple platform than MS... there again it may be a digital photography thing...

Hello I would like to suggest you use clippingmagic website and remove the background from jpg.

Hi Mary—

Just a piece of friendly advice from a member of TalkGraphics, which supports Xara products. If you've seen at least seven posts above showing how to remove the background from a bitmap image using Xara Designer, it's politically incorrect to promote and post a link to a product that Xara and MAGIX have no relation to.

If we were all stumped and couldn't think of a solution, and the website you provided a link for might be totally welcome advice, but a "policy" we sort of follow once in a while, occasionally (!) here is: If it can be done with Xara, you show how to do it using Xara.

Otherwise, a post like yours would be considered advertising, and this is a graphics forum, not Craig's List. :)

My Best,

Gary

Try to save file as png so you will only get logo no background

As far as I know, there are only three types of graphics that are web-worthy, with a transparent background: GIF, PNG 24-bit and 8-bit, and SVG which is a vector format not universally accepted yet. PNG 8-bit exported files save loading time, but the transparency is limited to one color, which might produce visible fringing around its edges.

If you are not uploading to the web, there are number of file formats in bitmap construction that will do what you need: TIFF, PNG, and Adobe PSD to name a few.

My Best,

I remember years ago trying to make an icon and getting my design to have a transparent background in a jpg. Not knowing any better, I couldn't understand why it kept putting in a white background by the time it reached the desktop. It was driving me nuts
