: How can i change the white background of the eps file to transparent? I want to change the white background my eps log to the transparent one. I have download GIMP and INKSCAPE but i don't

@Merenda852

Usual technique in Gimp:


Open the file.
Layer → Transparency → Add alpha channel (if disabled then it’s already there).
Using the wand with a low threshold (<10), select the background (shift-click on any closed areas that aren't selected, such as the inside of the upper curve of the final S).
Select → Grow by one pixel (the selection should include the border pixels of the letters).
Color → Color to alpha and remove the white.


Result, transplanted on a contrasting red background to show the absence of halo or jagged edges:

The EPS you linked to is simply a low resolution bitmap image contained inside an EPS container. It contains no vectors. So you can't edit it with Inkscape or other vector software. You could of course recreate it in Inkscape if you really want to.

In GIMP try Colors > Color to Alpha, and click OK.

Export as PNG or TIFF if you want to maintain transparency.
