How do you remove the background from a PNG in Figma?

Published in Figma Design 2 mins read

You can remove the background from a PNG in Figma using a plugin like "Remove Background". Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Select the Image(s): Choose the PNG image, or a batch of images, that you want to remove the background from within your Figma project.

  2. Run the Plugin: Locate and run the "Remove Background" plugin. You can find and install it from the Figma Community.

  3. Remove the Background: Within the plugin interface, click the "Remove background" button. The plugin will process the image.

  4. Receive the Result: The plugin will generate a new version of the image(s) without the background, maintaining the original size and quality. This new version will be placed in your Figma document, ready for you to use.

It's worth noting that the effectiveness of background removal depends on the complexity of the image. For images with intricate details or unclear separation between the foreground and background, the results may not be perfect and may require manual adjustments. Other background removal plugins exist, so exploring alternative options might be beneficial if the "Remove Background" plugin doesn't fully meet your needs.
