      Removing image backgrounds 

      To remove the background of your images you just have to select your image and click on the "Remove Background" button located in the toolbar that will appear at the top.


      Place an image into a placeholder

      The placeholders are responsible for helping us to create these images. And what is a placeholder? They are “spaces” where we can later place an image by simply dragging it from the gallery.

      Placing images into a placeholder in Desygner is very simple.

      1. Choose the shape or frame that you like and add it to your canvas.
      2. Select the shape or frame and you will see a toolbar at the top.
      3. Click on Convert to image box if it's a shape.
      4. Drag from our image gallery or upload and drag your own image.
      5. Do not forget to download with a transparent background to remove the white background.



       

      The quality of my picture is reduced when uploaded

      The image itself is not losing any quality.

      The quality of your image will seem reduced when uploaded if the image is either too large or you have a poor Internet connection. For better performance, the preview will seem a bit blurred out to make sure that you are not waiting too much until you are able to keep designing.

      Once you download your design with any settings, you will see that the image keeps its original resolution.
