Transparent text overlays and frames with custom dimensions
Prepare a transparent PNG for an overlay or compositing workflow. Keep the canvas empty, or add centered text and a border while leaving the surrounding pixels see-through. The opacity control adjusts visible artwork without adding a background. Export as PNG or another transparency-supporting format, then place the result above an image in your editor. For a transparent text overlay, add your label while leaving the canvas transparent; unlike the empty blank-image tool, this workflow can include visible artwork.
Ways to use the transparent image
Create a text overlay with transparent surroundings.
Make a transparent frame for an image composition.
Test alpha transparency and partially visible artwork in a design.
How to make a transparent PNG text or frame overlay
Create a centered text label or a simple frame with transparent surroundings, then place the exported PNG above a photograph, video still or slide in your own editor.
Add text or a border while keeping the background transparent
Select Transparent, enter the dimensions of your composition, and add a short text label. Set its color and font size, or use border width and border color to create a frame. The text is centered on the canvas; use your destination editor to position the exported layer within a larger composition. Keep text and borders empty only when you want an empty PNG instead.
Export in a format that keeps transparency
PNG is a practical choice for an alpha-enabled raster file. JPEG cannot keep transparent pixels and is composited over white in this generator. A file viewer may show transparency as white, black, or a checkerboard, so its background alone does not prove the file is opaque.
Adjust overlay opacity and test the composition
The opacity control applies to the visible artwork, including text and borders, while the surrounding pixels remain transparent. Check the PNG over both a dark and a light surface so the lettering stays visible where you need it. This tool creates a new overlay; it does not remove a background from an existing photo.

Transparent Image: questions & answers
Everything you need before your next download.
Why can I see a checkerboard in the transparent preview?
The checkerboard helps you see transparent areas. It is only a workspace backdrop and is not included in a transparent export.
Can a JPEG keep transparency?
No. JPEG does not support an alpha channel. Use PNG or another transparency-supporting format when you need a see-through image.
Start your next creation with a simple image
Set the mood for a social post, refresh your wallpaper, or give a presentation a clean opening. Pick a canvas and make it yours.
Put your favorite colors on your screen
A soft sunset gradient or a quiet wash of color can make a screen feel like yours. Choose a 4K desktop canvas or a portrait phone size, then build a wallpaper around your own palette.
Give your next presentation a clean opening
Leave room for your ideas with a white canvas, or set the tone with a simple gradient. Start at 1920 × 1080, then add your title in a slide app or use the background for a project cover.
