Exporting Arrows with a head (-> like this) in Illustrator does not work

[LeanMotivation]

Hello,

When exporting my illustrator AI file in which I designed a white, dotted arrow with a head (the head is designed with the presets of Adobe under the strokes window) I cannot see the arrowhead anymore. The exported PNG or PDF file does not show up a head at all!! PLEASE HELP ME!

Thanks

Leo

Here you go

What happens if you use Object>Expand with the path selected before making the PNG?

the spaces between elements on PNG image look like if the arrow is here but you have white stroke color and png with a white background, so we see just gaps (which are colored by black Fill color), not a stroke.

Would you please show the exported image with another Stroke color or PNG with a transparent background?

well, indeed the black one you can see. Only problem is I need a white arrow for a video with a black background 😕

Sorry guys, I just recognized that the background was selected as "white" by default and saw that it helped solve the problem by clicking "transparent" in the box right after clicking "exporting" and selecting the "location"!

I recently started with photo editing so I am not aware of most functions

But thanks to you all.
