jkprg Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It would be nice to have an option to disable artboard background during exports. Yeah workaround is to create a layer with background and uncheck it during an export. But I always tend to keep number of layers as low as possible... (moreover Sketch has such an option :)) Thx HolyMoly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted November 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hi jkprg, mkdm, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) I'm not sure i understood you but you can make the background transparent in File ▸ Document Setup..., Colour section ticking the Transparent background option. If you want to export just a single object/layer/group, select it in the Layers panel or canvas and in the export dialog (menu File ▸ Export) select Selection without background from the Area dropdown.

Babelfisch Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 +1 for this feature! @MEB If I create Artboards with white icons, it's necessary to give the ArtBoard a background color because the white icons are not visible on white background. On export, the ArtBoard background color is also exported and it would be nice to have an option to exclude the ArtBoard color from export. See the attached screenshot from Sketch with an option to include (or not) the Artboard background color in export. HolyMoly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyMoly Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 +1 for this. This option would be very useful to have a proper preview while editing, without having the "preview-background" in the exported file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
