How to Remove White Background from EPS File in Photoshop

Removing an unnecessary background from an EPS file is all made possible within Photoshop. Users, both new and familiar with the software don’t have to worry over the complicated process as Photoshop is efficient and will get the job done.

• Step 1: Launch Adobe Photoshop

  

  Launch the software, then click “File” and “New,” then enter the document’s parameters and click “OK.” Alternatively, you can directly open the EPS file by clicking on “File” then “Open” where a new window will allow you to select which file you want to be displayed on your artboard.

  

• Step 2: Rasterize EPS Format

  

  After you opened the file, a new window will open up. These details will allow you to check the width, height, and resolution of the file. You can also select the color mode of the image and set it to grayscale, RGB, CMYK, and Lab color, with CMYK as the default. Leave the other settings as is. Click “OK” once you are satisfied.

• Step 3: Use “Magic Wand” Tool

  

  Click on the image’s background using the “Magic Wand” tool. As long as everything has consistent color, the tool should choose the entire region. If not, trace the outline of your image with the “Lasso” tool.

  

• Step 4: Delete Color Background

  

  This step is where you will then be deleting the consistent background of your EPS file. As for the example, you can click on the “Delete” key on your keyboard. You will then see that the background is transparent by the appearance of the grey and white checkered pattern. Then hold down “Ctrl + D” to remove the selection around the artboard.

  

• Step 5: Save the File

  

  Select “File” from the top menu bar where the drop-down option will present you with the “Save As” option. Click “Save As,” then choose “TIFF” or “PNG” from the format drop-down menu to save the image as a transparent file. Click “OK” once you are satisfied with the settings.
