irateginger Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 My background is transparent when I export as PNG. I do not have transparent background selected in the document settings. I have just been putting a large white rectangle behind everything to get it to export properly, but this can't be the intended method can it?

Everybody doesn't always want a white background in their PNG files, so adding a background, be it a white rectangle, another colour/pattern, or an image is quite normal and acceptable.

iconoclast Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Hi irateginger! Your problem could be caused by a setting in the Export-Dialog. Look what is selected at "Area". It should be set to "Whole Document". "Selected Area" works too, but cuts the document to the range of its visible pixels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
