FAQs

Why must I save as PNG for transparency?

JPG doesn't support transparency. PNG is the only common format with full transparency support.

Can I use the transparent PNG in Canva?

AI processing handles hair and fur reasonably well, though very detailed edges may need touch-up in a design tool.
