MoonaticDestiny Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 I know this is silly but can someone teach me how to export a PNG. When I create a document it has a white background. Every time I export a PNG theres a white BG to the PNG. How do I get rid of this white background so that its transparent when I export a PNG. I am working on Affinity Designer for the iPad.

walt.farrell Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 You would probably start by setting your document to have a transparent background. When you initially create the document, that's one of your choices, as shown in the Help: https://affinity.help/designeripad/en-US.lproj/pages/GetStarted/NewDocument.html I'm sure there's also a way to set it later, after creation, but I'll need to comment further when I'm back at my iPad, if someone else hasn't pointed it out by then.

Im working on AD v1. If you go to the document menu, under canvas, theres a clip-to-canvas option and a transparent canvas option. I selected transparent canvas and now when I export to PNG I get my file with a transparent bg. Thank you! @walt.farrell walt.farrell and Paul Mudditt 2 Quote Credentials: I'm a graphic designer with 2 graphic design degrees and 10+ years of design experience.
