Select Transparent Background
Before downloading, you need to enable the transparent background option:
- Look for the "Background" or "BG" option in the generator
- Select "Transparent" or "None"
- The preview will show a checkered pattern (this indicates transparency)
Note
The checkered pattern is just a preview. Your actual export will have true transparency!

Choose PNG Format
Transparency only works with PNG format. Here's why:
- PNG - Supports transparency, larger file size
- JPG - No transparency support, smaller file size
- WebP - Supports transparency, best compression
Always select PNG when you need a transparent background!
