How do I export entire canvas with transparent background?


Recommended Posts

I've exported a selection without a background tons of times but I'm looking and searching for this specific issue but can not find a solution anywhere!

How can I export the entire canvas without the background without it JUST being the selection exporting without a background?

The image size is 744x1000, but I need it to be square so I put it on a 1000x1000 canvas document but can not for the life of me figure out how to get it exported as a 1000x1000 document with the image centered within it, without a background!  No matter how I have the document 'selected' to 'export selection' without background it never works.  I do not understand, please thank you very much!!

Hi @Modavated and welcome!

This works for me:

After you've resized your canvas, make sure you have a Transparent Background:

Then go to File - Export. Choose a format that supports transparency (such as .png) and make sure Whole Document is selected:

This gives me a .png file 1000x1000, with transparency down the sides:

Hope this helps!
