Transparency to Images

YES , PLEAAAAAAASE !!

Right.  I’d like to “theme out” my frames so I’ve got the Tiki area, the Cork area, … basically create separate virtual spaces in a large shared team space.  As is, without opacity, the background is too “strong” and overloads the stickies and frames.

Needed...

Just ran into this, not exactly intuitive to make transparent in another app then carry over!

If the Image Source is from the Internet you can try setting Tools > Images > Transparent

Brandon, that’s a helpful tip, but I don’t think that’s what the other users are asking about. I came here myself looking for a feature to reduce the opacity of an image in Miro, such that elements behind the image will be partially visible.

I second this. Adjusting opacity of any object / image should be by default.

I have created a board for boosting up graphical content - please insert your ideas here if you like:

@mlanders hmm.. a bit chaotic miro page? It would help if it was more structured / clean. 
That said, let´s start simple by asking for opacity function. When that is in place we can ask for more.
 

@Steven Stieng :

Feel free to add content or to replace content, so it makes more structured sense to you … as I placed a shape into the board:

 

So add your graphic how it should look like when you add transparency to your picture or edit other thigs in the board.

Therefore I allowed editing for everyone!

Just do so!

@ahmed maher, @Trevor Hatfield, @Dustin Goad. Thanks for reacting to this wish list item. I am curious to learn more about why and when you need to apply transparency to images. Thank you for help me to understand this request in more detail 🙏 

It’s been 2 years since this was suggested, with lots of upvotes, and it’s a standard / trivial HTML function to change image transparency.  So come on Miro, let’s go! 

@Fabian Strunden  Image transparency is just a really common and helpful feature used in many situations.  Often when you have a diagram / graphic image you want to overlay on something else, or when the image is too dark or saturated for the design.  Beyond transparency, at least the multiply blending mode (as found in Adobe Illustrator) would be really useful.  And/or the ability to specify a transparency color for the image.

I would +1 this as well. I place images in Miro as part of a design process where I add stickies on top of them to indicate potential changes. I then like to map out which sections of a page are for what purpose. I’d like to be able to make an image transparent so I could box/indicate sections of the page without having that annotation get lost as it is placed directly over the placed image, which is quite busy.

Regarding reasons for needing transparency - it would be helpful to have transparency in  Venn Diagrams where you want to show the overlap between the two (or more) circles.

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment about this feature. We understand the frustration and appreciate your patience. Our team is reviewing this idea as it continues to be open for votes and comments.

For those coming across this idea, if you feel this would be helpful for you or your business, please be sure to vote for it and leave a comment about your use case to help our team scope this request!

Thank you,

I know this is an old comment but - you can do that? Just change the opacity of the object?

 

I’m currently using Miro as an ideation tool for a small design project. I need something quick and light and to produe various examples. Miro is perfect for this - except if I add an image. The image is 100% opacity which limits what I can produce. Instead I have to use some sort of 3rd party app and then bring in the resulting image. Take a lot of time. I don’t need a prof designer for this project but it would be useful to be able to do this.
