Artboard background - disable export option


Recommended Posts

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

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.

+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.
