How To Save A Transparent PNG with Inkscape
HTML-код

- In this tutorial we'll be going over how to save your designs with a transparent background in Inkscape. This will enable you to generate usable copies of your designs in PNG format and without a background.
When saving files you may naturally think of the typical File-Save-As pathway, but with design software it's a little different. Your designs aren't "saved" in the traditional sense, rather they are exported using the Export menu.

I don't use Inkscape much but whenever I do it's reassuring to know that If I have a problem there'll always be a Logos by Nick video to help me solve it
Nick, I have not started on Inkscape yet as I’m so new to GIMP to the point that I’m clueless. Can I just say that your videos are extremely helpful! Makes it so much easier! Keep up the great work! Newbies like myself really appreciate it!
Omg, all those icons you've got in that sample picture look SO AMAZING! Would you perhaps make a tutorial on creating somethin in this 3D kinda style?
Glad you come back for inkscape.
Dude i watched your videos in 2018 youre still going 😅 You go champ
Mine still got exported with background 😢
Correct, it doesn't work.
Good to see you making video again Nick! 🎉
Welcome back.
Absolutely love your tutorials. Thank you so much 🥰❤🤗
Thank you NICK. You are a great teacher
Previously what I produced was not neat on the edges, I'll try this method. Thank You
Precise and concise. Thank you❤❤❤❤
What would be really helpful is to state the Version of Inkscape that this video applies to (and indeed, any future videos you make.) When we update Inkscape to a new version, there is always a fair bit of faffing around trying to find stuff that's been rearranged/changed etc.
Also, have RUclips now removed a date stamp on the video title? So irritating...
But thanks for the video as it has answered my question.
I do not have the ability under the Export /Selection drop down menu to choose "Export Selection Only" or "Hide Export Settings' and no image thumbnail. What do I do instead? Currently have Inkscape V1.1
Perfect timing😂💯🔥
this didnt work on my old ass debian version, but going to document properties and setting the background there helped!
Can u make an optimization guide so late versions dont lag so much? 😕 And sometimes it even crashes when theres a "lot" of objects been selected and moved...
Try the 1.3 alpha and turn on the "openGL" option in settings/rendering. Like night and day!
Thanks!!!
Thank you
amazing
When I do this my selection still has a white background. What am I doing wrong?
I have same problem. don't know what to do.
Me too
Didn't work for me. Why don't you start with a new image instead of selecting from an image with multiple images?
I'm doing your video on the inkscape logo design. But when I get to the step of stroke to path --> break apart, it doesn't work. Also tried your newer tutorial of stroke to path --> ungroup --> union but it doesn't work either. Please help me!
If you could figure out a way to turn images into tattoo art using GIMP that would be amazing but if not I’ll see what I can come up with in the meantime lol
When I'm doing this, the png is not very high quality. Is there a way to export in higher quality?
I have a Question about the Inkscape,are inkscape files print ready today, because I saw that it has some issues because of CMYK color
Hello!! Can you please make a video on how to open CDR files in inkscape.
It is not opening
Hi!
👍
This does not work for me...I have Inkscape v1.2.2. I followed exactly what you said and still it is saving the background. The object I want to save in my test is just an intersection area of a square and a circle. I used Object->Clip->Set Clip to create it. What version of inkscape are you using?
I'm using 1.2.2 as well. I tried to recreate your problem with the same type of object (clipping of intersecting shapes) and it still worked as expected.
Look closely at the preview, do you see that chequerboard background? If not, you may have background colour set for Page, it gets exported too. In the File>Document Properties, and there click on Page. Before 1.3 you'd need to pull Alpha slider to 0 to have transparent background.
If you still like to edit with some background colour, you can set Desk colour instead.
In my case, the gear icon next to the file format selector "Export Format Options" solved it. But I don't understand what the meaning of all this is. Is there a video explaining this setup?
@@LogosByNickIf I make the background transparent will it change it to black?
I told Chat GPT to draw a simple house in parallel perspective in SVG (without using numbers after the decimal point for simplicity). I wrote that I wanted a road on the front, a parking space in the background, no cars, etc.
... And it's just impossible for him to draw anything besides existing logos and scaling them.
lmfao
I click on the object but it doesn't select, what am I doing wrong? please help
The layer might be locked. Check the Layers menu (control + shift + L)
@@LogosByNick unfortunately it doesn't change anything :/
Can you send me a PM about some work I would like done? Thanks! ~P
This didn't work for me smh
