The Paddee Editor allows you to upload images that can be used for your designs. This guide will walk you through the types of images you can upload and how to find transparent images using Google Images.
Step 1: Go to Google Images
For this guide we are going to acquire the assets for our custom designs from Google Images. However, the Paddee editor has the capability to import PNG or JPEG files of your choice onto a template.
Google Images is a search service owned by Google that enables users to search the web for image content. It's a very useful tool for quickly obtaining transparent images for custom designs. You can visit Google Images by clicking on the following link: Google Images.
Step 2: Search for your desired images
When you search for an image, a thumbnail of each matching image is displayed. Clicking on a thumbnail will show the image in a larger size and allow you to visit the page where the image is used.
In this example, we will be creating a Super Mario-themed Paddee template. We will search for "Super Mario" on Google Images and be presented with results.
Step 3: Adjust to only display transparent images
To create a clean design without appearing like a collage of images, we need to obtain Super Mario pictures with transparent backgrounds in PNG format. A transparent PNG is an image file that has one color assigned to be "transparent" so that the assigned color will be replaced by the background selected in the Paddee design editor.
To find transparent PNG files, we need to adjust the Google Images search settings to only display transparent images.
Click on the Tools button
select the Color menu option below it to the left and then select the Transparent option.
Google Images will refresh to show only images with transparent backgrounds. These images will appear with a grey and white checkered pattern in the background, indicating transparency.
Step 4: Download the Image
Once you've found the transparent image you want:
Right-click on the image.
Select Save image as... and save the file to your computer.
Now the image is ready to be uploaded into the Paddee Editor.
Now that we found an image that we would like to import into the Paddee editor, we are going to right-click the image and select Save image as... to save the file to your PC so that you can import it into the Paddee editor.
Additional Information
The template above was created using the Super Mario file as an example. Now that we've learned how to save transparent PNG files to our computer, we are ready to upload the files into the Paddee Editor. Learn how to upload graphics so that you can create your own custom designs.
