Cannot figure how to change the the 'art board' to transparent on the iPad version of illustrator! Just need a logo with a transparent background. Thanks!

Correct answer LSmithTA

When you export as aPNG, it is transparent.

Try setting the view to transparency mode. This was the only way I could get a transparent background. I would  export as PNG with no other layers, select transparent background, select to export on the selection but always got a white background. Finally tried the view mode and it worked for me.

Can you attach your Illustrator file so we can test it?

I'm thinking your image has white as a fill instead of no fill.

It's my first time using Adobe Illustrator. I'm working with an iPad Pro, and my client wants the vector file to have a transparent background and wants the file to be in .ai so they can make their own edits. Any help would be much appreciated!

Can you try "Quick export as AI"? Vector files do not have background by the way.
