Exporting Selections With Transparency

Hi,

I've been having trouble figuring out how to export selections from an Illustrator file with a transparent background.

Exporting is now defaulting to a white background.

For texts blocks with enclosed characters (e.g. o, d, q) this is a problem.

I tried to reset the artboard options, but the preference is not there.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Matt

when you select 'export selection', you get the asset export screen, correct? where you set the formats you want to export, there's a drop-down list of presets. to adjust the options for those, click on the little gear symbol:

Hi Douge,

Yes, that is it!!

I can't believe I missed that.

Thanks so much!

I had this issue too today -- it was so frustrating to find this out, as I spent hours debugging my website and backend thinking the transparency had been lost there. Adobe, you have to make this option easier to find (not hidden in a tiny wheel)!

Hi Douge,

Thanks very much.

The only problem is that when I select items apart from other items on an artboard, I can't seem to find the same export options.
