Downloading Visual with a Transparent Background


The transparent download feature allows your visuals to be downloaded with a transparent background but it will not remove the background of your uploaded graphics or images. In other words, if your uploads contain solid backgrounds, they will still appear in your downloads so it's necessary to create your design in Piktochart to ensure the background can be made transparent.


You can download your visual with a transparent background by following these steps:

  1. Click on Download in the top-right corner of the editor menu.
  2. Choose the PNG option for downloading.
  3. Select the Transparent Background option in the Download menu. 
  4. Click Download PNG.

Common Questions

Can I download my visual with a transparent background in any download quality?

Yes, you can! You can download it in normal, medium, and high quality. You can also select the Download as Pages option if you need to download more than one page with a transparent background.


Why does my solid-colored background disappear when I have the transparent background option enabled?

Whenever Transparent Background is enabled, it will remove the background entirely, even if solid colors are applied. Patterns will also be removed. This is because the Transparent Background option is meant to enable you to create visuals with clear backgrounds.


Can I remove the background of my uploaded image?

Yes! With Pikto’s AI Background Remover tool, you can upload your image and instantly remove its background with just one click.
