Pag Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Hello, I'm a newbie trying out Affinity Designer so I'm probably missing something simple, but I can't seem to export my image with a transparent background as a PNG. I've read some other threads, which said to tick the Transparent Background checkbox in the Document Setup screen, which I did. Here's that pop-up, you can see that my document does actually show the checkboard pattern in the background. But when I go to export in PNG, it insists on putting a background. I can change the background's color (using the Matte button) but I can't make it transparent. Oddly enough it works for GIF exports: So what am I missing? This is using Affinity Designer 2.1.0.

Pag Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 Thanks NotMyFault. As described in the discussion in that thread, choosing a preset in the export dialog solves the issue for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
