How do I remove the background from my logo or artwork?

To remove the background from your logo or artwork, you’ll first need to start an order and upload your design. Once uploaded, you’ll see a checkbox labelled ‘Remove Background?’.

Ticking this opens our background removal tool. It defaults to the Auto option, which uses pre-set smart detection to remove backgrounds from most designs automatically. You'll see a preview of the new transparent version at the bottom.

If the auto removal doesn’t look quite right, click Manual. Then click on the background areas in the image preview to remove matching pixels. You can adjust:

• Tolerance: Higher values remove a wider range of similar colours
• Contiguous: If ticked, only removes connected areas (untick to remove all similar pixels)
• Reset Image: Undoes your manual edits and restores the original

When you’re happy with the results, click Save Image. This updates the design on your order. Don’t worry — we also keep your original just in case our artwork team need to tidy things up before printing.

Not confident doing it yourself? Click the Request tab and send instructions to our artwork team. We’ll remove the background for you after your order is placed and send a visual proof for approval.
