how to export transparent png in procreate
HeyBraza points at the background-color layer checkbox you have to untick - the step that leaves a white box when you skip it.
exporting a sticker or logo from procreate and getting a white box behind it is the classic trap. the fix is one toggle most people miss: the background layer. here's the exact order on your ipad so your png saves with real transparency.
short answer
untick the 'background color' layer at the bottom of the layers panel so the canvas shows a checkerboard, then share as png. jpeg cannot hold transparency, so the format choice matters as much as the background layer.
or do it yourself
- 1open the layers panel and find the 'background color' layer at the very bottom.
- 2untick the checkbox next to it - the canvas now shows a checkerboard, meaning it's transparent.
- 3tap the wrench (actions) icon, then 'share'.
- 4choose 'png' (not jpeg - jpeg can't hold transparency).
- 5save or airdrop the file - the png now has no white background.

why does my procreate png still have a white background?
you exported with the background-color layer still on - open the layers panel and untick 'background color' before sharing as png.
can i export a transparent jpeg from procreate?
no - jpeg has no transparency. use png (or share layers as png) for a see-through background.
