Animal Jam: How to Make a Graphic (Tutorial)

Hello Jammers! ^-^ This post was requested by my good friend sugarcat2. She asked, "how do you make a graphic?" Well, you're about to find out, Sugarcat! :)

I get these kinds of questions a lot over the years so I figured it's about time I made a graphic tutorial anyway. XD

Let's get started!

1. Take a screenshot of what you want your graphic to be of and save it as .PNG file.


In this case, I'll be making a graphic of my wolf.

2. Upload the picture into Pixlr Editor.


Click on the button in the red circle. :p

3. Use the eraser tool to erase the areas of the image that you do not want to include in your graphic. Once you're done, save it to your computer as a .PNG file. If your background for some reason isn't transparent (and you wanted it transparent), you can go to a transparent-image-background-editing-site-thingy and get it fixed up.

Here's a video version of this tutorial:


I hope this was helpful! If you have any questions, please let me know!

Thanks fo' reading, and keep on whippin'!

  3. You can also use a magic wand tool, just make sure your background is one color.-cheer

    1. Yup! I often use that tool if there are extra spaces that need tidying. :)

  4. Hey Nafaria! I have been wondering how to do graphics! I made one with that program early! But when I erase the background sometimes it's just white instead of pixels. Do you know how to fix that?
    Thanks!

    1. I would suggest going to a website where you can just select an area and it will automatically make it transparent for you, or, if you'd like, I can do it for you! Just email me the picture and it'll be done soon. c;
