You can:

iv) Import a photo from a url.
- I'm going with the first option so I click on CREATE A NEW IMAGE and move on.
The next step is very important because it is where you choose to make your photo transparent.


After you click on the OK button to proceed.
- You will land on the photo editing page proper and then you make your designs.

Make use of the icons there, they are free for you.

- The next step is to save your work, that is when you're done. I didn't see any save button so I made use of the CTRL+S. It will bring up an option like this.

I saved mine as PNG to make sure it is transparent and with the best quality. Then I chose a saving location and saved it.

I saved it in my DESKTOP for quick access. That is all, you can now upload it anywhere you like.
