  3. This opens your computer’s file browser.
  4. The image will now upload to Lunapic’s server.
  5. This replaces the color with a gray checkerboard pattern, which means that part will be transparent.
    • For example, if you have a white background and want it to be transparent instead, click anywhere on the white background to replace it with transparency.
    • Click any other colors to remove them as well.
  6. It’s the first link below the image. This will download the image to your computer.
