Transparency & Opacity: How To Use Them

Hi everyone, and welcome back! I'm Alex PixTeller chief troublemaker and today I will show you how to set the transparency and opacity with our graphic maker tool. It's an easy tutorial to follow, that will make all the difference regarding your design. So, let's get started!

First thing's first, in order to efficiently go through today's tutorial, I will start from a premade template, the one I have in My designs. Once I select it, I click the USE button in order to open the photo editor.

As you can see here, I have a colored background, an image, a shape, and 3 text elements. In order to set the background transparency to zero, I must click on the background color. If you look closely, here I have the Opacity slider that I need to set it to zero.

To change the opacity of a shape, I first select it, then, from the top menu, I can change the opacity. I can use the slider to input the value, or I just use the "+" and "-" buttons for more control.

Once I am satisfied with how it looks, I can save my design and afterwards, I can download it or share it directly from PixTeller. That simple!

For our example, the final outcome should look something like this. Great job, everyone!
