3 Easy Steps

Prepare your image

The key to a great charm is a transparent background. Here's how to get there in minutes.

1

Pick your image

Choose any image you love — a photo, an emoji, your pet, a logo, a piece of art, or any icon. Square images work best and look great as a swinging pendant.

Remove the background

A transparent background makes the charm look like it's really hanging from the string. Both tools below are free and take about 5 seconds.

Save as PNG

Always save as PNG — it's the only common format that preserves transparency. JPEG flattens the background to white. Aim for around 512 × 512 px for sharp results at any size.
