Part 3. Remove the Logo Background with the Built-in Programs of Microsoft Corporation

The mentioned tools are enough for you, but I will show you another surprise in this part. Continue reading to catch the gift.

You can search for an online background remover and make a logo transparent without Photoshop. On top of that, even the built-in programs of Microsoft Corporation can tell you how to make a logo transparent.

A wonderful gift, right? Haha, let me present you with an interesting show.

1. Remove the Background in Paint 3D

Paint 3D is a creative application that comes free with Windows 10. However, it seems so ordinary that I almost ignore that it embeds great tech to edit photos.

When I first used it to make my logo background transparent, I was surprised at what it showed me.

• Directly go to the photo library on your computer and find the logo you want to cut out.
• Roll your mouse to the logo, right-click your mouse, navigate to “Open with,” and select “Paint 3D.”
• Click the Magic select and then circle the subject you want to identify.
• If the Magic select misses some fragments, you could manually depict the part to pick the missing piece. A scribble is enough because it will intelligently identify the subject. You should remember to turn off the “autofill background” and click “Done.”
• You can’t see the logo with the transparent background now. Please copy and paste the processed logo picture on your newly created word file.
• After pasting the processed logo image on your word file, you can press the right mouse button again, choose “Save as Picture,” and finally get a logo in transparent PNG.

Tips: Do not save the logo to your computer directly from Paint 3D; otherwise, the picture will be saved with the original background.

2. Remove the Background in Word

The Office series is one of the best-selling products based on the Windows operating system developed by Microsoft. The Office provides so many fine functions to facilitate our work. For example, we use Word to create documents, during which we often insert some pictures to make the contents more vivid and fascinating.

Have you ever noticed that the picture tool in Word can remove the picture background directly?

I have run the function with my Word 2019 and found it is quick to deal with my logo background.

How to remove the background from a picture in Word? Please follow the steps below.  

• Open Word to create a new document.
• Find the “insert” in the up column and choose the picture from your computer file.
• Press the “Remove Background” and then “Mark Areas to Keep” or “Mark Areas to Remove” according to your habits. After marking, go to “Keep Changes.”
• Check that the logo background has turned completely transparent, and then right-click the mouse and choose “Save as Picture” to download your file.

Tips: This way is much more convenient and straightforward than other methods, but its function is inferior to others. Word can only deal with some pure background colors. If your logo is posted on a complex background, such as on a scene image, the result of erasing would be deficient in that you will see there remains some blurred background. After all, it is not a professional tool to edit photos.

Conclusion

To sum up, I am sharing some experience on how to make a logo transparent in a cost-free way. Whether an online transparent logo maker or a desktop application, they can remove a complex background instantly while retaining the original quality.

The former is a shortcut for a green designer, and the latter furnishes much more advanced tools to get a fancy logo.

On top of that, directly through the computer’s programs is feasible to make a logo transparent. Just pick the way you like!
