Hello!
Faced with difficulties in version 2021, I ask the community for help.
I can not export PNG with transparent background as I did before. I have 20 artboards in one file and some I adjust to sizes through this export, but now the result is not the same (see photo).
What should I do to get transparency back ???

Correct answer bryarAhmed

Group all the Artboard's content, then R.Click on the group => Export As, and enjoy 🙂

This is the most useless feature I've seen these new Photoshop devs come up with yet. Ridiculous.

i don't get mad often but changes like this make me wanna scream. it's not that hard to make a white bg layer. adobe doesnt need to default it for me. moreover, the artboard properties only show up when "artboard" is highlight which took a while to figure out. what should've taken a few seconds took several minutes of being frustrated, then googling, and then searching for the artboard properties. ok rant over. i feel better now

I can't agree more. This has been an absolutely destructive addition. Why would you ever assume and hard code a white background into an artboard? What is this?

This guy doesnt understand what's going on.

We are talking to PS 21, not PS 22.

I'm having the same problem on every work computer of the lab that has photoshop 2021 installed! We've been having to completely avoid using artboards for months! Transparency doesn't export on artboards!

Your Canvas is transparent, but your Artboard may not be. I see you pointed to the transparent setting, but in the Properties panel it says Canvas. Select the Artboard in the Layers panel. Then make sure the Artboard backgound color is set to Transparent.

I understand what you advise, it has transparent in the settings, but i see white bg in artboard, this is the essence of the problem..this appeared only in version 21

my screens in russian, but they same like in top of post

Прозрачный = transparent

OK, that's defintely odd behavior. Trying resetting Photoshop's preferences. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

This took me a minute to figure out too! With the Artboard layer selected (not the object layer), you can go to properties and change background color to transparent.
