To use a file with a transparent background on the web you will need to save the file out as a png with a transparent background. To use it in print and some other editing programs you will need to create a clipping path around the image and save the file as a.eps. Hope that helps. Free photo resizer and image compressor to crop, resize images in JPEG PNG GIF format to the exact pixels or proportion you specified, compress them to reduce the file sizes, making it easy to use them as your desktop wallpaper, Facebook cover photo, Twitter profile photo, avatar icons, etc.

Basically, I'd like to resize or resample a .png image (in order to reduce its file size) and yet retain it's transparency.

Anybody got an idea how best to go about this?

Thanks.

What graphics program are you using?

Photoshop does this by simply going thru IMAGE > IMAGE SIZE and resizing. Transparency is not affected.I'm sure Paint Shop Pro does the same

You can use Paint.net, it is a free tool. Pretty basic but does the job.

Goto Image>>Resize

You can download it from here: https://www.getpaint.net/

Providing the image you have created / have been working on is transparent in the first place, using the 'Resize' or 'Resample' tools in any major image editing package (e.g. PhotoShop, PaintShop Pro and so on) should not affect (or lose) the transparency at all.

I use PaintShop Pro (X6, 64 Bit) myself and typically find that the 'PNG Optimizer' option offers more options along these lines (than the default 'Save As > .png' route).

Hope that this helps (specific to PaintShop Pro Users) in relation to the source question.

I know this is an old question, but the answer that worked for me was to use Inkscape.

  1. Start Inkscape (free on Inkscape.org).
  2. File -> Import.. (Ctrl+I) the PNG file you want to resize (defaults on import dialog are ok).
  3. With the image you just imported selected, select File -> Export PNG image.. (Shift+Ctrl+E)
  4. In the Export PNG Image tool pane, click the Export As.. button to set the output filename and location.
  5. In this same tool pane, set the image size using width/height or pixels.
  6. In this same tool pane, click the Export button to create the output file.

This worked for me, hope it helps someone else.

The complete Autodesk Sketchbook is now out for free including all the previous premium features such as resizing an image.

You do it as you would in paint by clicking on Image > Image Size.. and then you can save as a .png without losing transparency.

Windows 10 comes with a new Universal (UWP) app called Paint 3D. Despite the name, the app is not a proper continuation of the classic MS Paint. It is a completely different, modern image editor which allows creating and working with 2D and 3D objects and comes with a number of effects and tools which were not available in the classic app.

What is Paint 3D

Acdsee Resize Png Transparent

Paint 3D is a new built-in app in Windows 10. Microsoft has included the Paint 3D app in addition to the classic Paint app since Creators Update. It supports pen input too. It has tools like markers, brushes, various art tools to help users create objects. The app has tools to transform 2D drawings into 3D objects.

At some point, Microsoft will get rid of the classic app. Currently, the company is considering moving it to the Store.

In recent releases of Windows 10, Paint 3D got integration with Snipping Tool and Microsoft Paint. Both apps now come with a special button on the toolbar which allows opening Paint 3D from them. The integration between Snipping Tool and Paint 3D is very smooth. The screenshot you've taken with Snipping Tool, will be opened in Paint 3D, so you can edit it directly. Once the image opens in Paint 3D, you can move or delete objects from it with Magic select, annotate it, add 3D objects etc. However, if you have some drawing opened in classic Paint, its Paint 3D button doesn't work as expected. The drawing won't be opened in Paint 3D. The button just opens the Paint 3D app with a blank canvas.

Using Paint 3D, you can create transparent PNG images. e.g. you can make some logo image with a transparent background, as is widely done on the Internet. Let's see how it can be done.

Create transparent PNGs with Paint 3D

Step 1: Set the canvas to transparent. Click on the Canvas toolbar button and enable the Transparent canvas option.

Step 2: Make sure that there is not any unwanted paint on the canvas.

Step 3: Draw the desired objects or paste the logo on the canvas.

Step 4: Click on the menu button (the left-most button on the toolbar) and select Export file - 2D PNG.

The result will be as follows:

That's it. Thanks to Jen Gentleman for this tip.
