Are the colors of your text and your background clashing in your design? This can be a nuisance and may need clarification. Sometimes designs work better with no background. A background is often unnecessary, especially if the design is to be printed on items. Try the transparent background tool in PicMonkey to achieve this.
To remove the background from designs with text, select your background layer, go to the Background Tools, and click Background Color. Here, check the Transparent option. You will be done.

Why Are Transparent Backgrounds Useful In Graphic Designing?
Transparent backgrounds are mostly used in graphic designing, especially in logos and packaging designs to put on mugs or merchandise.
Multiple Levels In Design
Multiple layers of elements like texts, shapes, and pictures can be built when the background is transparent. Depth and dimension can be added to designs. A visually appealing design is made where viewers may focus on certain elements that attract them.
Adds Space
The absence of background and opacity gives an illusion of increased space. By overlapping and blending, multiple texts and images may be added in a limited canvas area. This also helps in the organization of elements and gives off a clear look.
Helpful In Packaging Designs
We all appreciate the packaging, which helps us look at the product. When backgrounds are kept transparent, the product is visible through the packaging. The product attracts its own customer base and speaks for itself. Some text or pictures with information may still be added to the packaging, but the area of focus for customers would be the product.
Overprinting
The depth of designs can be beautiful. Overprinting in this context refers to adding texts and images on top of each other in varying colors and fonts. This removes any hierarchy between the two and provides equal emphasis on both. Visually, it looks appealing, and viewers often appreciate it.
