How do I paste invisible image to gimp? - ColdIce2137 - 02-04-2021
I wanted to paste some image from google with invisible background (like this) onto another image, but it just doesnt work, it isn't transparent.

That image isn't transparent. A really transparent image doesn't show with a checkerboard in your browser, because the background for transparent images in a browser is the blank page. I assume that on that site the previews are not transparent,only the truly paid/licenced images are.
Also, if download the image, it is a JPEG, and JPEGs have no transparency...

Oh, right. Thank you.

Kind of wondering why anyone needs a -vector-empty-transparent-background-vector-transparency-grid-seamless-pattern and presumably pay for it, since the link is a jpeg with a watermark. Screenshot in Gimp: https://i.imgur.com/72bmSEL.jpg
You could make a pattern like that in Gimp with four squares, two white / two coloured. However presumably that vector-transparency-grid-seamless-pattern is used to put under a true transparent image, to simulate transparency for demonstration purposes (or just to extract money from the gullible) This is an image in Gimp with transparency. Note that the representation of transparency in Gimp can be set in Edit -> Preferences -> Display https://i.imgur.com/kaj59HZ.jpg
Want a checker pattern under that image to send off to some web-site as a demo. Use the checkerboard filter Filters -> Render -> Pattern -> Checkerboard on a layer under the Image. https://i.imgur.com/DMblIif.jpg
.....but of course that is a totally different subject from the original question "I wanted to paste some image from google with invisible background"

Also, it depends on browser. Firefox will copy images with their existing transparency, but other browsers do make them opaque. Gimp is at the receiving end, it takes whatever it is given.
