AdamPearson 0 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Does anyone have any idea how to (if we can) use PNG image files with transparent backgrounds. I have a circular photo which I wish to use but is still in the shape of a square with non-transparent background. Edited March 17, 2015 by AdamPearson Share this post Link to post
by_accid3nt 0 Posted March 17, 2015 I have had trouble with this in the past but I found it easiest with Adobe illustrator. When creating the image you can select PNG Transparent background it the program takes care of the rest! If you need an help I could potentially edit the photo and email it to you if that makes it easier! Share this post Link to post
AdamPearson 0 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Thank you very much for your reply, muchly appreciated. I am using Adobe Photoshop and have saved/converted image as a PNG-24 and have selected transparency. Image filename is img0198.png.on my trial Squarespace website.

ArminB 1,942 Posted March 19, 2015 Hy,I would also recommend Photoshop because you can set the exact pixel size for your file. in Photoshop: make a new, empty file, ( e.g. 200x400px with 72dpi) If you already have your logo without background -drag'n'drop your source file ( I guess you have an .eps file or pdf ) to that new file > save as > .png and done if you have e.g. a jpg with white background you have to separate it first from the background.put your logo on a new layer (because you can't do that on background-layer) use the magic-stick or something else to delete the background > then SAVE AS > .png > and done PS: I would also recommend to make your logo file bigger than it appears on the hompage or at least 1:1 because otherwise you get less quality look. If you have problems with that - just send me the file via email.Armin Share this post Link to post
NatashaU 0 Posted March 23, 2016 I'm having this same issue. I followed @ArminB 's advice, and the image is saved with a transparent background, but when I upload it into SS, the background is white! This isn't for my logo though, just an image on the site. Is this fixable? Thanks! Share this post Link to post
