Sometimes the Best Things In Life Are Free

Today my mission is to show you a super easy and quick way to take an existing logo and put it on a transparent background.

I normally do this task in Adobe Photoshop or the free program Gimp, but after researching how to do this quickly and easily using free online tools for my students, I have now been converted myself.

This is not for those looking to make a new logo from scratch. In the lesson below, I am showing you how to take your existing logo and put it on a transparent background so it looks better in your social media graphics and web images.

This gives you more design options and it’s a common thing people want to know how to do (and they usually pay me to do it for them).

The tool I show in the lesson below is a free online tool called Lunapic. You just upload your existing logo. Choose the colored background (usually white) that you want to become transparent, and it drops that color out for you. It takes literally seconds.

In fact, I was so surprised myself as I was making the lesson. Usually it takes me 30-60 minutes to do the same thing well in Photoshop.

I’m so glad I investigated a free, online option for beginners. I learned a lot myself and will use Lunapic in the future. 

Anyway, get a step by step demo by watching the video below.

The free lesson above comes from my new course, Make Easy But Powerful Social Media Graphics: Canva | Stencil.

I hope you found this quick video lesson helpful and let me know what YOU most need help with in the future (IE: digital imaging, web design, social media, videos, animation, etc…) in the comments below.

I may make my next video tutorial lesson just for you. 🙂

Cheers,
