A LITTLE MORE CONTEXT
The transparent image, explained
The output uses an alpha channel for transparency. The browser preview lets you check the cutout against a selected color; this preview color does not alter your downloaded source.

CLEAR ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about this workflow and bgfree.app.
How do I make an image background transparent?
Upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image to the tool. It creates a cutout that you can download as a transparent PNG.
Why is PNG used for transparent images?
PNG supports an alpha channel. JPEG does not store transparency and will use a solid background when exported.
How can I tell whether the PNG is transparent?
Place it over a colored layer in an editor or open it in an app that shows a transparency checkerboard. Some viewers display transparency as white.
Does the preview color change my downloaded file?
No. It helps you inspect the edges; the web download remains a transparent PNG.
