Did you ever wonder how to make Instagram Logo transparent? Then wonder no more. In this article, we will mention how to get the Instagram logo, transform it to the.PNG format, and make it transparent. And there is one more good news! You can use this method for every other logo that you desire to make transparent. It works for all logos.
What Is a.PNG file?
Let’s suppose that while browsing the Internet, you have seen a logo with a transparent background. Such logos have a different image type. They have the “.png” file extension. Instagram logos that do not have a transparent background are generally in the “.jpeg” format. You need to convert them into the “.png” format. It is possible to add the “.png” extension on other images (without background).
There are multiple ways to make the background of the Instagram logo transparent. You need to choose a method according to the background and the extension type of the file.
How to Make the Background of Instagram Logo Transparent Using Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop application is the most suitable for this action. It provides ease of editing every type of logo you encounter. You can access this application for free for about 30 days, thanks to their trial version. The first thing you need to do after downloading Photoshop is to start running it and throwing the Instagram logo inside it.
Uploading a Logo with Photo Extension into Photoshop
Go to “File” and click on “Open” in the upper left corner and choose the Instagram Logo (or the logo you desire to work on) to summon it. Instead of doing that, you can also simply drag and drop the file into Photoshop’s workspace.
There are different methods of how to get rid of the backgrounds of logos using Photoshop. Let’s explain them one-by-one:
The First Method
It is easier to make the background of the Instagram logo transparent because behind the logo, there is a white background. If your background is black, it is probably not what you are after; set it to default settings. Let’s start with it first. When you upload the image on Photoshop, on the bottom left, you will notice a new segment called “Layer.” Under this segment, you will see a vector or a symbol of your image. Right-click on the mini image, and select the “Rasterize Layer” option. This step is a vital one for editing your image furthermore since Photoshop will not allow you to make changes to your image without selecting this first. Now keep in mind that, without selecting the rasterize layer option, you will still be able to adjust the basic metrics like contrast, saturation, etc. But for more significant changes like erasing the background, you need to select the rasterize layer option first.
Once you clicked on “Rasterize Layer,” you need to click on “Tools,” which appears on the left, and then choose the “Magic Wand Tool.” The magic wand tool lets you select the areas that you want to erase. Select the background carefully, and then press the Backspace button on your keyboard. Voila! Your background is now erased and appears transparent. For more complex images, you might need to use the magic wand tool several times.
After making sure that all of your work is in its final state, it is time to save what you have prepared. To save your work, follow this path: File > Save As > Format (choose the PNG option here), then you can have an Instagram logo with a transparent background.
The Second Method
Most of the Instagram logos have a white background, but if yours has different colors, you can use the “Quick Selection Tool” instead of the “Magic Wand Tool.” This tool allows you to make changes in different areas. To make the cursor bigger or smaller, right-click on the page after selecting the tool and adjust the size. This setting is especially useful for working in smaller areas. After carefully selecting the background, you can erase it by pressing on the backspace button and repeat this process if necessary. After clearing the background, you can save and use the logo.
The Third Method
If you are not satisfied with the results of the previous tools, you should draw the borders of all parts of the background, and separate the background from the Instagram logo using the “Pen Tool” tool from the Tools section. After your lining process is complete, press CTRL and Enter buttons at the same time. This action will completely separate the background from the logo. Then, press on the backspace button and erase the background. Save your file, and you will have your background free Instagram logo.

After you successfully got rid of the background of your logo, it is time to make it transparent. You can change the opacity of your logos and make them as transparent as you wish with different applications. We even included an online editing tool as well. Check them out.
