Problem exporting transparent png file.

I have an image with a transparent background. I'd like to export it retaining the transparent background. However, the exported png always saves with a white background.

Things I've tried:

in export as, file is set to png and transparent is ticked

I've tried saving the image as a png, and it saves with a white background

I've gone into my artboard tool and set the background to transparent

I've right clicked on the layer and tried export as png from there

None of these have worked for me. So I'm thinking it might be a bug? I'm running version 24.0.1 on windows 11.

Any help will be much appreciated.

It worked for me! I put all the layers inside a group and export this group to PNG (right click on the group > Quick export as PNG)

It's annoying that he even has to do that but @Douglas Stefani method works fine. I had the same issue. If it's a limitation of the viewing software as @TheDigitalDog suggests, than that is just plain sad. I export a transparent background, I expect apps to open the image with a transparent background, not autofill it with white, which ruins the purpose of it being tranparent...

No. It opens with a transparent background.

We are done here; the image has a transparent bkgnd. This isn't a PS bug!

What you might or might not see elsewhere again depends on if the product can preview the transparency, and not all can.

Ok. It's not a bug. However, whatever the issue, it remains unsolved. Maybe you could confirm if Illustrator and Express support transparent png files?

Illustrator surly supports transparent images.

My image has only one layer. And I don't have an alpha channel.

I think the file format for transparent png's in PS is actually PNG-32.

No. It opens with a transparent background. However, if I open the same file in Illustrator, or upload it to Express it reverts to a white background.

Hi,

There're few reasons why your PNG might not be transparent in PS.

1. That you're using wrong File Format(You should be using PNG-24 file format)

2. Your Image might have an Alpha channel, but it is not set as the Transparency Channel. You can check this by going to the Channels TAB and seeing if there is an alpha channel listed. If so, simply click on it to set it as the transparency channel. Then your image might have a background layer that is not transparent. To Check this, Go to the Layers TAB and see if there is a Background Layer listed. If so, simply double-click on it to make it transparent.

Follow Below Steps for More,

1) Go to channels TAB and select all except the Alpha Channel. Then on the top menu, click Select>Load Selection.

Then, load the selection to channel Alpha 1. Click Ok once done.

2) Go back to your channels TAB, right-click on Alpha 1 and select Delete Channel. This will allows for an easier way to make the background of your image transparent.

3) Copy and paste the layer with background in the Layers TAB and then unhide it to see the newly pasted one. You should now have a copy of the PNG image with transparent background.

What's important is that PS and applications that support transparency show the transparency; many will show white.

This may be old but I do have a simple contribution after going through this myself; reading these answers and not liking any of them. my experience is as follows;

exported an isolated moth as png with transparent background

uploaded into illustrator but theres a white background

***-this white is the artboard not the asset you made-***

do not select your object if you have click off of it by clicking anywhere on the white part which is the artboard

on the right side look at your properties. underneath transform which has measurments information is rulers and grids

click on the black and white checkerboard icon it as of 2024 is the third and last icon in the selection. selecting the black and white checkerboard icon makes your artboart transparent. this resolved my version of this problem.
