What is a transparent background?
A transparent background has nothing in the background pixels, allowing for what's behind it to show through it. Thus, we get a transparent background when the background is faded out while the foreground remains visible. The main advantage of a picture or video with transparent background is the possibility of replacing the background with any other you like.
Files with transparent backgrounds are the graphic designers' favorite tools. No wonder they look much better on websites, presentations, logos, and other creative projects. Transparent background can be helpful for designers as well as for photo & video editing amateurs. In this article, you will learn in which way specifically.
