Delete background png blocks


Recommended Posts

I have imported a vector image from Freepik and by importing the transparant background is converted in grey blocks (normally that tells you that the image is transparant).

I understand that this has something to do with the fact that Affinity can't import an Adobe eps file.

Is there a proces by which you can easily delete these gray blocks?

If not, what can I do? I don't want to take a subscription on Adobe.

Thanks

If you mean the gray/white checkerboard (as below) then you may be able to remove it by turning off document transparency in your Affinity application. Or, you may not, if it's actually coming in as part of the raster content of the image you imported.

If it will work: In Affinity Photo, uncheck the option in Document > Transparent Background. In Affinity Designer, FIle > Document Setup, and in the Color tab uncheck "Transparent Background".
