Change object transparency in Pages on Mac
You can create interesting effects by making objects more or less opaque. When you put a low-opacity object on top of another object, for example, the bottom object shows through.
![Transparent balloon shapes overlapping. The bottom balloon shows through the transparent balloon on top.](https://help.apple.com/assets/5DB779BA0946220B076D092E/5DB779C10946220B076D0943/en_GB/a79c12842c83fe10d6e4478bab591e74.png)
Click to select an image, shape, text box, line, arrow, drawing or video, or select multiple objects.
If you select a text box, everything in the text box, including the text and any background colour, is changed.
For a drawing, click the Drawing tab in the Format
sidebar, then drag the Opacity slider; for any other item, click the Style tab in the sidebar, then drag the Opacity slider.
Thanks for your feedback.
