Uploading PNG files that are not visible without a dark background

Hi! It’s my first time uploading PNG files to a stock website, and I’ve run into an issue: light-colored images are hard to see on the white background.

I’ve noticed that some other authors upload PNG files with a semi-transparent black background. However, the upload guidelines state that there shouldn’t be any background. What’s the correct way to handle this situation? There’s no option to upload a JPG preview or select the display background for your PNG files. Can I add a 90% black background directly to the PNG image?

Thank you!

That's a vector asset. And if you are checking that out correctly, it does not offer a PNG file format, because there is a background. And the JPEG file offered is unusable.

Go ahead and submit your asset. Someone licensing this should know how it works, at bleast, I hope so. 😉

Show us. We do not know what asset you are talking about. We would need to get the asset ID for looking that up.

Yep. That is a problem. I cannot imagine that an almost transparent background will get approved. But, I have been wrong before. Give it a try and let us know.
