Guys, I have decided to start making a basic half-3D half-2D game in Python. It was going well until I had to create the character’s graphics. He looks great, but I want to crop him so the image has nothing BUT him in it – no “cropped” background or anything, just him and nothing else. I don’t mind ads, really, I don’t. All I want is a solution so we have nothing but the character.
Here is how it looks at the moment:
Please comment with a solution!

Sorry the logo at the end is going to be the startup screen of the game. At some point because I haven’t got the thing working yet.

Okay so you can use paint.net or gimp (both free) for this. In either one you can click on the magic wand tool and then select the background of the character’s image. This should remove the background. Once done save (if your in paint.net) or export (if your in gimp) as a .png file. Then you should have a character without a background!

Sorry Brandoboy, it didn’t work in GIMP. I clicked on the wand and selected it and a small outline appeared round the background and character. I tried clicking on the image but no success. How did you do it? Can you explain it more clearly? Thanks!

Did you still try exporting it as a png file? If that doesn’t work just try paint.net.

Don’t need it! I fixed the problem by removing the .convert() from the image import.

Actually no BrandoBoy I just removed the .convert() from my image import and it is working beautifully now.
