Zonaboy Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Hey there! I have grouped together two shapes that I drew in Affinity Designer. I want to export them as a PNG file without a background so that I can use it in my email signature without a white background. But when I do that, the edges of the image are cut off. I noticed that within Designer when I click on the group the selection box cuts through some of my shape. I'm assuming this is what is cutting off part of the image when I export it. How do I fix this? Kal 1 Quote

The only thing is I'm not sure how to export without a background from the export persona using the slice feature. Document with Transparent background? How do you export the logo? I have never been able to export cutted lines, the lines are always complete. Document with Transparent background, Export (Whole document) - Line OK. Document without Transparent background, Export (Selection without backround) - Line OK. Export Persona, select group of line, Create Slice, export - Line OK.
