Niall123492 Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Hi, Not sure if it's just me or has this changed? Usually when I export as a PNG it gives me an option to have a transparent background or not. Today I was trying to export with a transparent background and it seems the option has been taken away. Has anyone got any further details on this? Quote

wonderings Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 I am guessing the document was not setup with a transparent background. Just did a test in Photos and worked as it should Quote
Niall123492 Posted May 5, 2020 Author Posted May 5, 2020 Affinity Designer - Yes I know the document wasn't set up with a transparent background. There used to be an option in export to use a transparent background. was just wondering if this feature was taken away. Thanks for the replies and help 👌 Quote

Thanks for the replies and help 👌 No idea, I don't work with PNG's though I would assume it was removed from export as it needs to be done in document setup. At least you have a work around, or know how it works now! Quote

It won't give you transparent if the document doesn't have a transparent background, but if the document does have a transparent background, you also need that set to "no matte" if you want the transparency to be maintained.

Carl Foster Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 I am using Affinity Photo Version 1.8.4.693 I imported an image from the clipboard that has a white (256, 256, 256) background. How do I export this image in either a GIF or PNG format with the white background transparent? I cannot find a transparent background selection in any of the export dialog boxes. Quote

You have to make the background transparent first. Quote
