Select Transparency Color

With reaConverter you can customize the transparency color that appears in your input image file when preparing for conversion.
When you want to edit and convert images that contain transparent layers, being able to clearly distinguish these layers from the rest of the image can be very helpful. Because transparency is normally rendered as white, making the difference between the transparent sections of the image and the ones which are actually white might be difficult.

How to select transparency color?

1. Open Images

Load one or more images which include transparent parts. You can add them manually or by using the drag-and-drop tool.

2. Transparency Color

Go to the Menu button, click Loading settings → Transparency color, and then tick the box that says Show transparency as

You can then select your desired color from a full range of them, so that you can easily distinguish it in the image. Click OK and move to the Edit images section, where you can rotate, resize, crop, mirror or apply a wide array of other editing features to your images.

3. Save the Result

Choose the desired location for your newly edited and converted images.

Finally, press the Convert button and wait no more than a few seconds for your converted images to be done.

Set transparency color with command-line tool

cons_rcp.exe -s "C:\Path_to\input_file.png" -o "C:\Path_to\output_file.jpg" -show_transp 1 -transp_red 255 -transp_green 255 -transp_blue 255
