Copy + Paste produce white background

[Snootz]

Copy and pasting images from photoshop to illustrator generates a white background around your asset. 

This only happens on a windows machine. Mac systems work just fine. 

Copying from illustrator to photoshop works just fine as well. On both windows and mac. 

Copying a layer from photoshop to any other programs also produces the white background on a windows system, but not a mac. I tested this by copying layer assets into a google-slides presentation. On mac, it works just fine. I can copy assets from photoshop to slides without issues and with a transparent background. 

On windows, it always produces the white background. I believe this is a bug, but it has been an issue for a while.

Hi @Snootz, thanks for sharing this! That definitely sounds frustrating, especially with the cross-platform differences you’ve observed.

To help us investigate further, could you please:
 • Share a short screen recording showing your copy-paste workflow in Photoshop to Illustrator/ Google Docs (on Windows)?
 • Provide a sample PSD file that we can use to replicate the issue?

This will help us escalate the behavior to the product team for review. Really appreciate your help!

Best,

Anshul Saini

@Snootz are you copying the layer or perhaps a layer mask? I can replicate if I have the layer mask selected when I copy.

From my testing, when copying from Photoshop 26.8.1 and pasting into Illustrator 29.7.1, white is added around objects with transparency.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Select All in Photoshop
2. Edit > Copy or Copy Merged
3. In Illustrator: Edit > Paste
