Guide: How to Insert Transparent Image Over Another in Paint 3D
Using powerful photo editing tools like Photoshop and GIMP can be daunting for simple tasks, such as layering photos. To make it easier, Windows PCs come pre-installed with free photo editing software MS Paint (or its upgraded version Paint 3D).
Adding watermarks and logos to photos or merging two images is a breeze with Paint or Paint 3D. Simply overlap one image over the other to achieve the desired effect.
To create a layered effect, users of Microsoft Paint and Paint 3D can learn how to place one image on top of another, particularly a transparent image.
How to Put one image on top of another in Paint
Users of Paint have expressed disappointment at the lack of a dedicated attachment button to add images over existing ones. However, the same feature is available via the ‘Paste from’ button, allowing users to insert images into Paint.
Adding a transparent image to Paint is easy. First, open the image in Paint. Then, select the “Save As” option and choose PNG as the file type. Finally, click “Save” and your image will now be transparent.
To get creative, launch MS Paint on your computer.
Open an image in File, then add another to it.
Click the small down arrow under Paste and select ‘Paste from’ to continue.
Add an image over the first one by navigating to it in the ‘Past From’ window and clicking Open.
Don’t fret if your PNG file with a transparent background appears with a white background - this is common.
To make an image transparent, click the down arrow below the Select option and select Transparent selection.
The white background is gone in an instant.
How does transparent selection work?
Want to know how Transparent selection removes backgrounds? Here’s the scoop.
Enabling Transparent Selection in Paint removes the Color 2 selection, which is usually white. To ensure the background of a PNG image is transparent, click on the Color 2 box and select white. If it’s a different color, Transparent Selection won’t work.
To select a different background color for your image, right-click on the desired color in the image and select it in Color 2 using the Color Picker icon on the toolbar.
To achieve a precise selection, use the Transparent selection option. This will allow you to remove any part of your image, provided it has a solid background.
You can customize the size, position and angle of a transparent image by using the corners of its selection box to resize it, right-clicking to rotate it.
To reposition an image, simply hover your mouse pointer over it to reveal a four-sided arrow. Then, drag the image to the desired spot.
You can layer multiple images on top of one another in Paint.
Save the image by selecting File> Save As.
