File problem

[Nadar]

Hi 😀

I have a JPEG file with a checkerboard background around the main image.

This file is in the Photos app on my iPad. 

I can import it into a PDF application (PDF Expert) but I can't modify the imported image in this app.

Could the transparent background (checkerboard) explain this problem ?

If so, how can I transform this file ?

Could someone advise me?

Thanks

Unfortunately I don't understand how your question relates to the Affinity app.

A JPEG file is simply a container for Pixel data, the data itself (such as a checkerboard pattern) would not affect the 'editability' of the file.

Equally a JPEG does not support transparency, therefore this will simply be a checkerboard pattern and not an actual transparent area within the image.

Have you tried opening the JPEG within Affinity directly for editing?
