I have to 2 questions regarding image editing.

  1. I want to change the background color of any image.
  2. How can I design an image which if I put on any image/web page so background of this image match to the background of web page. Plz see the this below image I put on any web page its background always match with the background of web page. Plz tell me how can I design that kind of images.

Example: [IMG]http://www.simplemachines.org/community/Themes/default/images/smflogo.gif[/IMG]

Plz also recommend me software and its version where I can easily fullfil my both questions.

Thanks & Regards,

Good points from (transparent images) and (web color codes). The notes below expand on practical, modern workflows and pitfalls that weren’t covered earlier.

For changing an image background (photo or complex edges): prefer a non‑destructive mask workflow — duplicate the image layer, isolate the subject with a selection tool (Select Subject / Color Range / Foreground Select), convert that selection to a layer mask, then place a Solid Color (or gradient/texture) fill layer beneath the masked layer. Refine the mask with feathering, the Refine Edge/Select and Mask tools, or brush edits; remove color fringing with a matte/defringe or by sampling and painting a background fringe color onto the mask edge. For quick automated removal, modern background‑removal services or Photopea (browser) can produce good masks that still benefit from manual touchups.

For graphics that must “match any page background”: use real transparency or vector art. Vector/SVG logos are ideal because an inline SVG can inherit page color via CSS (fill="currentColor") and scale cleanly for retina displays. Raster logos that need transparent regions should be exported with an alpha channel (PNG‑24 / PNG with alpha or WebP/AVIF where supported) rather than GIF (palette limits). Provide both SVG (for logos/icons) and an optimized PNG (for older fallbacks) and test on dark, light, and patterned backgrounds.

Small inline SVG example (inline SVG inherits page color):

<span class="logo" style="color:#1a73e8">
  <svg width="120" height="30" viewBox="0 0 120 30" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <path d="M0 0 L10 0 L10 10 Z" fill="currentColor"/>
  </svg>
</span>

Recommended tools and tips: Photoshop CC / Affinity Photo for advanced masking, GIMP and Inkscape for free raster/vector work, Photopea for quick browser edits, and background‑removal services for fast starting masks. Always check exported assets on multiple backgrounds, remove halos, and run an optimizer (TinyPNG/ImageOptim or equivalent) before deployment.

You'd have to code that.

All colour that is rendered as html is represented as a code.

All you have to do is match that code to get the same colour.

As I see the example - this is just a transparent GIF image. Every program like Fireworks or Photoshop can do that. So, if you want your image to mach every background - start a new image in photoshop, where backgound is transparent, draw the picture, or whatever you want, and save it as a GIF Image preserving transparency, or as a PNG image, also preserving transparency.

Note that max colors you can use for the GIF image is 256 - not a good choice for full color images.
Good luck!

Now, first of all - what do you mean by any image? Is it a photo that you have taken with your camera, or is it a graphic, that you have created using a program?

If you want to change the background of an image, taken with camera, then you have to do something like this:
1. Open the image
2. Select the area that you want to be visible - not the background!
3. Copy the selected area into your clipboard.
4. Start new transparent image, according to my previous post.
5. Paste the selected area from the clipboard. So the selection should appear on a transparent background.
6. Export the image as GIF or PNG both using max colors.

If you want to have a fancy text to appear on any page with different background, then the procedure is the same as per above, however starting from No 4. Instead of pasting some image though, just use the type tools of the program you use to create the image, to edit the text, change the color of the text, etc, as if your're using word.

Now, the image with transparent background always matches the color of the bacground of the web page. E.g. you put a transparent image on a blue page - the background is blue, you put the same image on a pink page, the background is pink.
If you have no idea how to deal with colors in webpages - go to the html and css topics to find out.
