Save PNG Images with Transparent Background in Photoshop

When working with Photoshop, you generally create several images for various purposes. Apart from different image types, the Adobe Photoshop also allows you to create PDF files. When the images are saved as PDF files, they are easy to transfer online, provide decent display effects, and are easy to manage. Also, Adobe Photoshop allows you to save the images as PNG files that are mostly used for the webpages. The PNG images can be easily integrated into the webpages, and the webpages are then uploaded to the web server for the end-users.

Many times the PNG images are used to prepare logos and stylish names for the organizations as well. When this is the case, you, as Adobe Photoshop designer, might require to save such PNG images of logos and stylish names without any background.

When you normally save the images that have transparent background in Adobe Photoshop, the images automatically add a white background before they are saved as PNG or JPEG files. This way, the images no longer remain with transparent background, and hence they are completely unusable as logos stylish names.
