Alpha Highlight for Google Chrome

Alpha Highlight: Chrome Extension for Finding Images with Transparent Backgrounds

Alpha Highlight is a chrome extension designed to assist users in finding images with transparent backgrounds. This useful tool can be easily toggled on and off, and when enabled, it adds a colorful outline to any image that contains an alpha layer with full opacity. This indicates that the image has a transparent background surrounding the object.

Determining whether an image has transparency can be challenging just by visual inspection. Transparency is often represented by a checkered background, or variations of white, grey, or black, making it difficult to distinguish if the background is part of the image or not. Alpha Highlight solves this problem by providing a visual indicator for transparent images.

This extension is particularly handy when searching for images to overlay on other content. It allows users to avoid rectangular images and seamlessly blend the image content into a different context. Whether you're working on design projects, presentations, or simply looking for transparent images, Alpha Highlight is a valuable tool for streamlining your workflow.
