Anyone able to help point me to how to create or find images that a student could use that don’t come with the white background/border. So far all I have found are coming in as a rectangle around whatever character or shape they use. For example if I wanted to do a map of use and then have separate images of each state to lay on top and click on, is it possible in AppLab. I feel like I am missing something simple but haven’t found a way to get the non-rectangle images. Thanks for any help and suggestions. JR ---

Hi @jreilly2016, The easiest option is finding images that have a transparent background already. When looking at Google Image search results, click Tools =\> Color =\> Transparent ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codeorgforum/original/2X/d/dc063c05e99dd67c2d4b199adab148a1da0ffc21.jpeg) Another option is to remove the background using some online tool like [https://burner.bonanza.com/](https://burner.bonanza.com/) . Other than that, you’d have to use image editing software and manually remove the background. Frank
