Transparent Backgrounds

Make transparent PNGs for logos, stickers, t-shirt and print-on-demand designs. Three ways to get a transparent background, and how to keep it when you download.

Transparent images are what you need for logos, stickers, t-shirt and print-on-demand designs, icons, clip art and product cutouts. You can make an image with no background in three ways: pick a transparent model, set GPT Image 2.5 to a transparent background, or remove the background from an image you already have.

Way	Best when	Plan
Transparent models	You want a cutout from a text prompt, such as a logo or sticker	Free and paid
GPT Image 2.5 Background	You also need reference images	Paid plan or bought credits
Remove BG afterwards	You already have the image	Free and paid

Ideogram 4.5, 4.0 and 3.0 have no transparency setting.

Transparent models

1. Click Image in the sidebar to open the Image app.

2. Open the Model picker and choose Ideogram 4.0 Transparent or Ideogram 3.0 Transparent.

3. Write your prompt, such as flat vector logo of a fox, orange and white.

4. Click Generate. Results appear in My assets on the right.

5. Open a result and download it as PNG (see Download as PNG).

GPT Image 2.5 Background setting

1. In the Model picker, choose GPT Image 2.5 Flare or GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst.

2. Open Advanced settings.

3. Set Background to Transparent. "Transparent keeps an alpha channel. Opaque fills the background in."

4. Click Generate.

Background starts at Auto, which lets the model decide. GPT Image 2.5 takes up to 16 reference images, so use it when you need a transparent result built from your own images.

Remove the background afterwards

1. Open any image.

2. Click Remove BG.

   

   Open the image and click Remove BG.

You can also use the Background Remover app. This works on images you generated and images you uploaded.

Download as PNG

1. Open the transparent image.

2. Click Download.

3. Choose PNG as the file type.

JPEG is turned off for these images because it can't keep transparency.

On a free plan you can download a transparent image as a 1K PNG. Larger sizes need a paid plan. See Available Plans.
