Make a Transparent Background in Paint 

Paint has an option of 'Transparent Selection' under  'Select' drop-down, which claims to make the background color of the selected area of the image transparent or opaque.

But this  'Transparent Selection' option will only leave your selected part of the image with a white background and not transparent

Please follow these steps:

  • Open image in paint 
  • In Image Section under Select Option Select 'Transparent selection'
  • Select the area of the image you want to make transparent and press Delete.

You will notice that the deleted area of the image turned to white but not transparent. Therefore to make Transparent Background you can use another popular Microsoft software i.e MS Word.
