How do people do this with there thumbnails?

Go to solution Solved by Kryptyx,

PNG has transparency, so can just do whatever you want with it.

 

Example:

anubarak.png?h=514&w=822&mode=crop

In  the picture below how do people get the individual characters out?
 

I understand that its layered and that they are all separate pictures combined into one to make the thumbnail, but what i dont understand is how people can get pictures of characters or other things that are cropped like that?

For example how did they get the beetle and the logo?

well, you can use a mask to "cut" out the character of the image and then that can work if you have Photoshop or they find a PNG file of the character. That means that the picture has a transparent backround

I just felt like I needed somthing here

PNG has transparency, so can just do whatever you want with it.

hmm interesting :) thanks guys! never realized you could completely take out a background like that and put a character on something else.

 

Time to learn some photoshop I guess :P

Most of the time you can find a high-res png render of the character or logo you want just by using Google image search, you can select images with transparent backgrounds and filter it down to PNGs only. Gifs also support transparency but are limited in colors, so they don't look nearly as good - the tradeoff is filesize.
