So, when you close a document a new document is automatically created. One quirk of Inkscape is that new documents are created in new windows instead of separate tabs. Step 15: Now we close this document from File menu or press Ctrl + W. Step 14: As we can see in explorer that one image has transparent background and the other still has the white background. Step 13: Then we select the traced image and then select the destination folder and make sure export selection is selected, then click Export. Step 12: First we select the original image and then select the destination folder and make sure export selection is selected, then click Export.

Step 11: Next we go to File and then Export PNG Image or press Shift + Ctrl + E to verify that the background is removed. Step 10: When we zoom in and see closely we observe that the original image has jagged edges since it is a bitmap and the traced image is smooth as it is converted into a vector after image tracing. Step 9: You can drag the traced image to the side to see the original image. Step 8: The traced image will be on the original image as shown Step 7: In the Trace Bitmap tab select multiple scans tab in that uncheck smooth and check stack and remove background also uncheck smooth corners and then click OK and then close the Trace Bitmap dialog Bitmap tracing as the name suggest is a process of making vector from the bitmap by redrawing the image. Step 6: Now the first method which we will use is the bitmap tracing which can be done from Path -> Trace Bitmap or press Shift + Alt + B. If you always use the defaults then there is also an option for Don’t ask again which you can tick. Step 5: Then we will be greeted with a jpg bitmap image import dialog in which we keep all the defaults and click OK.
