In Krita, you can easily make the background transparent. You must follow the correct steps in order to remove the background. Take the time to read and implement each step:
Step 1: First, open your Krita app. If you don’t have this app on your PC, go to the official website and download it for free. Go to the ‘Open File’ option and select an image from your desktop.
Step 2: Next, go to the ‘Bezier Curve Selection Tool’ on the left sidebar of your screen. And click on it.
Step 3: Now, this part is very crucial. You have to zoom the image as per requirement. And then start your rendering. It’s very easy. But you have to be careful. Make sure you are not double-clicking here.
Step 4: After doing this process, you have to select Feather Selection. To do this, go to the ‘Select’ option and scroll down until find ‘Feather Selection’. Then, click on the Ok button.
Step 5: Next, go to the ‘Select’ option and select ‘Invert Selection’. After doing this, press the ‘Delete’ button from your keyboard.
Step 6: When you have removed the background successfully, go to the ‘Select’ option yet again. And click on the ‘Deselect’ option.
Step 7: To save this painting, go to the ‘File’ option on the top left corner of your screen. Scroll down and click on the ‘Save As’ option.
How Do I Separate the Background in Krita?
To do this, you can upload a picture from your device. Then, it’s all Bezier Curve’s magic. Select the option to start your action by selecting the outer line of the object. In this case, you have to be a bit patient and creative.
We always suggest readers zoom in on the image to implement the steps with accuracy. And here, you also have to zoom in on the picture to create the outer line. Make sure you don’t double-click while doing this. Unless you have to start from the beginning again.
When you are done with the step, you have to select the Feather Selection and Invert Selection options. These two steps are very crucial for removing the background. After doing this, just press the Delete button and you will be able to remove the background.
You will see the outer line is still visible on the canvas. Many people skip this step but it’s also essential. In this case, you have to click on the Deselect option to remove the outer line from the object.
How To Save an Image with Transparent background in Krita?
The process of saving a transparent background design in Krita is very easy. However, keep in mind that you choose a PNG-type file to access the design in the future. To save your design, you have to complete all the steps first.
After doing this, select the Save As option from the File menu. A dialog box will be opened. Write the file name as per your preference. Next, you can find several options under the ‘Save as Type’ menu. Here, only select ‘PNG image’ for the transparent background.

How to Remove the Background in Krita
When you are working with raster images in Krita, you may need to remove the background at some point. This usually happens if you want to take an object from a photo and place it in a new project or if you want to replace the background behind the subject.
You may also want to remove a background of a graphic you found online to use it in an animation or video. Removing a background is also often used in product photography to use the product on a new background for the website or marketing materials.
Here is how to remove a background in a non-destructive way.

How to Remove the Background in Krita Step-by-Step
When removing a background in programs such as Photoshop, you can add a mask over the background to hide it. This offers a non-destructive technique that allows you to fix up any parts the mask didn’t remove properly or the areas that shouldn’t have been removed.
You can also use the same process in Krita. This method lets you easily bring back the background later on if needed, as the pixels aren’t deleted, just hidden. I will use this picture of a man in a black hat and jacket from Unsplash.
Open the Image in Krita
To remove the background, first, you need to open the image in Krita by pressing Control + O on Windows or Command + O on Mac. You can also apply this effect to a drawing you created if you drew the subject directly onto the background layer.
Activate a Suitable Selection Tool
You can now use any of the selection tools for this step. The tool you choose depends on your subject. You can use the Rectangular or Elliptical selection tool if you have a perfect shape you want to cut out of the background.
Otherwise, you may need to use the Bezier Curve selection tool to draw a precise selection around the subject. The Bezier selection tool is complex and will take some practice to get right, but it does offer the most accurate selection.
Since my background is mostly one color, I will use the Similar Color Selection Tool. This allows me to click on the background color to select most of it.
Create the Selection Around the Object
With a selection tool active, create a selection around the subject or object you want to keep. You can click and drag to create shapes or use the Bezier selection tool, like a pen and draw around the object, adding anchor points to create curves.
In my case, I can simply click on the background color, and the tool will select the background.
Invert the Selection (if Needed)
For this process to work correctly, you need to ensure that the subject or object you want to keep is selected. Since my tool selected the background, I need to invert the selection.
If this happens, you can invert the selection by going to Select > Invert Selection. You can also use the shortcut Shift + Control + I on Windows or Shift + Command + I on Mac.
Add a New Transparency Mask Layer
Once you have selected the subject or object(s) you want to keep, you can add a transparency mask layer to hide the background. To do this, click the arrow next to the Add New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers Docker, then select Add Transparency Mask.
Your background will turn transparent immediately.
Add a New Paint Layer
You have successfully removed the background by hiding it with the layer mask. However, it’s always good to check if everything was selected correctly. To do this, you can add a paint layer below the image and fill it with color.
To do this, add a new paint layer by clicking the Add New Layer icon, as the default layer added is a paint layer.
Move the Paint Layer to the Bottom and Hide the Other Layers
Once the paint layer is added, move it to the bottom of the layer stack by clicking and dragging it down. Then turn off the layer visibility of all the other layers by clicking on the eye icons next to each layer. This is to ensure the paint is added across the entire layer.
Use the Paint Bucket to Add a New Color to the Canvas
Now, stay on the new paint layer, select the Fill an area tool, which looks like a paint bucket, and select a color in the top settings bar. Choose a color that you can clearly see any problems with the subject or objects you cut out.
Then, click once on the canvas to fill the entire layer with your chosen color. You can then turn the visibility of the other layers back on. Now you can see any inconsistencies where the mask didn’t remove some of the background or the mask removed some of the subject/object accidentally.
Select the Freehand Brush Tool
Next, activate the Freehand Brush Tool by selecting it from the toolbar or pressing B .
Set the Brush Color and Size
Now, you can set the brush color and size. You will be working on a layer mask, so you only need to work with white and black when painting onto the mask. The white areas show what’s on the layer, so in this case, the subject and black hides the layer, so this is hiding the background.
Select the color based on what areas you are fixing up. You can first select white to add in any areas of the subject that are hidden. Then set the brush size based on the area you will paint over.
Brush Over Areas With White to Add to the Object
Next, ensure you have selected the transparency mask layer before continuing. Then, brush over areas with a plain brush and white to reveal more of the subject if the mask hid it.
For instance, I have a few areas on the hand, chin, hat, and arm that aren’t correct. I can paint over these with white to add them back in.
Brush Over Areas With Black to Remove Them From the Background
Next, repeat the above steps, using black to hide any of the background that is still visible. For instance, I still have a background patch visible at the canvas’s top right-hand corner—painting over this with black hides the area.
Check the Final Result
You should now have your subject on its own with the background successfully removed. You can now remove the paint layer and keep the subject on a transparent background, change the background color, or add the subject to a new project.
