Backgrounds: Solid, Gradient, Transparent

Make your masked image pop with the right background. Mix gradients for hero images.

Transparent background

Select "Transparent" to preserve the alpha channel. Export as PNG, WebP, or SVG — JPEG does not support transparency. Ideal for logos and stickers.

Solid color

Pick a single color fill from the color picker. Solid backgrounds produce the smallest file sizes and work universally across all export formats.

Linear gradient

Choose two color stops and an angle (0—360°). Gradients add visual depth behind your masked image. Try a warm sunset gradient (orange to pink) for hero images.

Gradients with complementary colors (blue→purple, orange→yellow) create the most visually pleasing backgrounds.
