Another feature of PNG format is that it can store transparent background images like you have seen in the icons and logos. If you ever tried to edit any transparent PNG image, you might have seen that the transparent background is changed to either black or white color.
This problem usually happens because the editing tool will convert the PNG image to JPG due to which it will lose its transparency. Here we have shared 3 photo-editor apps that can help you to edit PNG images on your Android phone without removing their transparent background.

Use PicsArt app to edit PNG images
PicsArt is the most popular photo editor app for Android with over 500M+ users. This app has all the features that you need to edit your photos. You can crop the photo, apply filters, add text, border, stickers and more. The user interface and editing process of the app is quite simple.
When editing transparent PNG images, PicsArt will not convert them to JPG or any other format and thus the image will retain its transparency. Moreover, you won’t lose the quality of the image after editing.
If you don’t like PicsArt app for some reasons, you can use another photo editor app named Pixlr. This app will convert PNG images to JPG by default, however, you can also select the image format manually. For that, click the Custom option while saving the image and then select PNG format.
