How to Remove a Background From a Logo

If you want to place a logo on a different background, you need a version of the logo with transparency in the areas behind the logo so the new background will show through.

If you don’t have a transparent version of your logo, you need to know how to remove a background from a logo. This is a straightforward task with a smart tool like QuillBot’s free, AI-powered background remover.

How to remove background from logo

If you need to create a transparent version of a logo because you want to place it in a new context, you can do this by uploading the logo to an online background remover tool.

1. Find your logo

Locate the highest-quality version of your logo as a PNG or JPEG file. Most online background removers support these formats. If you have a PNG and a JPEG that are roughly the same resolution, go with the PNG—it keeps the best quality because it’s not compressed in a way that loses detail.

2. Upload your file

Navigate to a good background remover tool in your browser, like QuillBot’s free background remover, and upload your logo file. These tools usually remove the background automatically once you’ve uploaded the file.

3. Download as PNG

A good background remover will allow you to download your file as a PNG. This will keep the background transparent, meaning the new background will show through when you place it in a different context.
