SEMI-TRANSPARENT IMAGE TOOL

Reduce opacity without losing quality

The starter preset gives you a soft semi-transparent result. Adjust the percentage or choose another preset before exporting.

FAST WORKFLOW

Visible enough.
Quiet enough.

How do I make an image semi-transparent?

Upload the image, reduce its opacity, preview it on the background you plan to use, and export as PNG or WebP to preserve transparency.

What opacity should I choose?

Try 50–70% for overlays and supporting imagery. For watermarks or very subtle backgrounds, 15–35% is often a better starting point.

Why not export as JPEG?

JPEG does not preserve an alpha channel. Use PNG or WebP if the semi-transparent image needs to remain transparent when placed elsewhere.
