If it stays white then the image has been converted to a JPG file.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can a PNG file have a transparent background?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>A PNG is an image file type that allows you to have no background color. Most images cover a certain number of pixels and have color in all of those pixels, even if that color is white. A transparent background has nothing in the background pixels, allowing what&#8217;s behind it to show through.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is PNG transparent?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>An important benefit, and oftentimes deciding factor for using a PNG file, is that\u2013unlike a JPG\u2013they support transparency. This allows you to have a transparent background around an irregular-shaped object and avoid a white (or other colored) box outlining your image.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Does JPEG have a transparent background?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>JPEG can&#8217;t support transparency because it uses RGB color space. If you want transparency use a format that supports alpha values.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why is PNG background checkered?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>A checkered background in Photoshop represents transparency in your project. Since the checked background is already transparent, there is nothing to be removed. To maintain this transparency for export, save your image as a PNG by going to File > Save A Copy and set the format to PNG.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why is my background white and not transparent in Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Click the artboard. Go to the Properties panel (Window > Properties) for the artboard.
