GarryP Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Welcome to the forums. What is the file type of your image file? If you downloaded a JPG then the image will probably have no transparency. If you downloaded a PNG or TIF then you could have transparency in the image. Can you share the image or a link to the original image on the website where you downloaded it from?

John Rostron Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 A png or tiff file with with a transparent background will sometimes display with a black background in the operating system file browser.

JoshiiTV Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 How to remove the black background? Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 First, try to see if you can get a PNG (or TIF) with transparency version of the image. The image in your second screenshot seems to show it with transparency so it looks like you should be able to get one. If you can do that then you will not need to remove the black background. If you share a link to the website page you downloaded it from then someone can help you to choose which file to download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy05 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Did you save the png and open it in Affinity? As copy'n'paste from the browser into the app most likely won't work and destroy the transparency.
