How do you create a transparent background in Photoshop?

Transparent background means that besides the actual object, nothing else will be visible in the background. A transparent background gives you the ability to place your saved image against any background without the image obstructing the background. Any logo should always be created with transparent backgrounds so that it can be placed anywhere, regardless of the background color or design.

To create a transparent background, while creating a new document, you get a pop-box which asks for the preset details. Here at the end of all the options and just above the “Advanced options”, you get a box which reads “Background Contents”. Here you can choose transparent instead of white (which is the default setting). If your advanced options tab is not open then the transparent option will not be visible. This will create a document with a transparent background.

If you have already created a new document and want to change the background to transparent then that can also be done. Make sure the “Layers Panel” is open. You can see it on the right side of the window screen. If not then you can open it using the “Windows” tab in the Menu bar and select “Layers” from the drop down menu. Or you can use the shortcut F7.

The background layer by default is locked. To unlock it either click on the small lock icon in front of the background layer in the layer panel or you can also double click on the layer itself. This will open up a pop-up, just click Ok and the background layer is changed to Layer 0. Now you can add a new layer (Layer 1) which by default would be a transparent layer and delete Layer 0. Now you have a Transparent Background.
