If the threshold is too low then much of the white background around the subject will remain. It’s important to ensure that your selection fits accurately around your subject. Moving it to the left will decrease the threshold: Moving your finger/stylus to the right will increase the threshold of the selection. Then, hold a tap over any portion of the white background in your image to create your selection. In the Selection menu, choose Automatic and Add. The Selection menu will open at the bottom of the screen: Click to enlarge. Open the Selection menu by tapping the round icon with an “S” in it towards the top-left corner of your screen. In order to delete a white background with Procreate we need to create a selection around the white area, which we’ll be doing in this step.

Step 2: Create a selection around the white area of the image and delete the background If your image doesn’t have a background layer then you can ignore this step. It’s especially important that you turn off the visibility of the background layer when deleting a white background from an image because if left visible then the background will be deleted to transparency, but the white background of the document will be showing through, which would create no visible change on your document. Uncheck the background layer’s box to turn off its visibility: Now let’s turn off the visibility of the background layer by tapping the Layers icon in the top-right corner of the screen.Īt the bottom of the Layers menu you will see a layer labeled as Background.

For this demonstration I will be using the following example image: This photo of a mango is a good example for this demonstration, because of the negative space between the stem, leaf, and mango, as well as the gray discoloration from the shadow it’s casting. To get us started we’ll first need to open our image with Procreate. Step 4: Export your work as a PNG file to preserve transparency Step 1: Open your image and turn off the visibility of the background layer.Step 3: Repeat the process for negative space areas and clean up stray pixels with the Eraser.Step 2: Create a selection around the white area of the image and delete the background.Step 1: Open your image and turn off the visibility of the background layer.
