How To Save Image With Transparent Background Krita. Save as a kra. The first step is to isolate the image you want on its own layer.
Save as a kra. This is your working file and serves as a backup if you make any mistakes. When a given pixel is completely transparent on all layers krita will instead show a checkbox pattern so you always have a transparency channel.
Go to the canvas tab again and turn on the transparent canvas option.
Flattening can take a while so if you have a big image don t be scared if krita freezes for a few seconds. You can accomplish this by duplicating the background image onto a new layer filling the background with a solid contrasting color while you work then erasing or better still masking away the part of the image you want to be transparent. If this is not the case add a new alpha channel from the layers menu. To check if the image has an alpha channel go to the channel dialog and verify that an entry for alpha exists besides red green and blue.
