FAQ​ about removing background from logo

Q: Can I remove the background from a logo without using any software?​

A: While it is possible to remove the background from a logo without using any software, it can be very difficult and time-consuming. You would need to use a photo editing website or app that offers basic editing tools, such as cropping and erasing. However, these tools may not be as precise or effective as using professional image editing software.

Q: What is the best format for a logo with a transparent background?​

A: The best format for a logo with a transparent background is PNG.
