The PNG format uses Alpha transparency to mask/hide transparent pixels. How the alpha transparency is rendered may be creating the outline artifacts.

I'm not sure what other file format I can use that supports background transparency.

Check your illustration for any outlined objects such as a colored background and eliminate the outline or delete the background object that is also being exported with the design.

The outline is visible on my website. You can see it: https://palmblush.com/pages/about-us


The PNG itself looks OK in a browser and in Photoshop. So your website, or your hoster or your plugins on the website do this.
