How do you find pictures to make pngs of? I'm trying to make my own pngs for my bullet journal but i can't find any pictures
I mostly use Google reverse image search! Basically, you right click on an image you like and it gives you the option to look for similar images via Google. You get a lot of results and you can navigate these very easily. You can read more about it here, there’s also an explanation on how to use it!
And recently I’ve discovered ‘Street Girls Snap’ on Twitter (@sgs109com). They post a lot about new product releases and they have a website too.
I’m pretty sure you can also find a lot of content on Pinterest, however I’ve personally never used it, so I don’t really know how it works.

And if you’re new to PNG making, you can check out these Youtube videos on how to make them:
One (Using Photoshop) // Two (Using Photoshop) // Three (Using Lunapic.com)
I personally only use Photoshop. You can look at this tutorial I’ve posted like 2 years ago, if you want to see how I make them. The process is still the same.
Hi there really love your page. Any tips on how to make transparent/pngs? Pls🥺
Thank you so much!
I already made a tutorial on how I make my transparents by using Photoshop, so feel free to look at it if you haven't already!
The first step is of course to find a good programm. I personally only use Photoshop, but there’s tons of other free editors like lunapic.com or kapwing.com. If you choose to use Photoshop, you also don’t need to have the latest version. I’ve been using Photoshop CS5 for many years now and it still works perfectly fine for me. Just use something that is easy to work with and is available to you.
The easiest images to work with, are the ones with a one color background. You can just use the Magic Eraser Tool to remove it.
If the image has more going on in the background, I'll try to use the Magic Wand Tool at first (it selects pixels based on tones, colors and brightness) and then I use the Background Eraser Tool.
If the Magic Wand Tool does not work how I like, I manually erase the background roughly at first and then I zoom in very closely to clean up the edges. This part honestly takes the longest, so you need to be a patient.
You can check if you missed to erase some pixels by adding a contrasting color as a background layer to highlight any unwanted pixels.
And lastly always save as a PNG file, otherwise the image won’t be transparent. That's everything I can think of for now!
