Confirm the exported file
Use the transparent PNG checker and switch to a dark preview. If the full rectangle stays white, the background is stored in the pixels.
Before
After
A white rectangle is stored image content. A checkerboard preview helps reveal transparent areas.
Export again
Remove the background in an editor you trust, export as PNG with transparency enabled, then check the new file locally before importing.
Create, repair and combine locally
Upload your artwork to clean an edge, select a region or combine it with other pieces. Download a single PNG whenever it is ready, or keep building the complete picture.
