How to save a vector file with a transparent background?

[IZWIZZ]

Hi, looking for some help please 🙂

I've created a logo on photoshop, vectorised it and saved it as an eps ( apparently this is a vector file ) but it doesn't have a transparent background which I need it to. I've removed the background on PS but when I open the saved file, a white background appears behind it.

I can't save it as a PNG as then surely it wont be a vector file and I need it to remain a good quality when its resized etc. Can anyone help? |Thanks so much !

Well, you are creating a vector file in a raster program. EPS files are not transparent. EPS cannot contain transparency. You shouldn't create a logo in Photoshop to begin with. But try converting to a smart object.

My answer is not really complete. But if you want anyone to work with that EPS file as a vector, they will need Illustrator. Here is more:

How to Remove the Background from an EPS File in Illustrator:

1: Open the EPS File: Start by opening the EPS file in Adobe Illustrator.
2: Check the Construction: Verify if the white background is a separate object. If it is, you can simply delete it. If the background is integrated into the artwork, proceed to the next steps.
3: Select the Background: Use the Direct Selection Tool (White Arrow) to select the background elements you wish to remove.
4: Delete the Background: Once selected, press the Delete key to remove the background.
5: Save the File: Save the file as an AI (Adobe Illustrator) file or EPS file. When saving as an EPS file, ensure the Background Transparent box is checked to maintain transparency.
6: Export as PNG or SVG: Alternatively, you can export the file as a PNG or SVG to ensure the background remains transparent. When exporting as PNG, make sure the Background Color is set to Transparent in the PNG Options window.

How about using PDF instead of EPS?
