so, I'm trying to make something and when I put a png file on the image it comes out with a black background even though it doesn't have one when I look at it in photobucket. Do I have to change the type of file to keep the transparent background? |

No - what you are seeing is the "Alpha Channel" being ignored from a drag and drop/copy. You need to right-click/save the PNG image to retain the proper Alpha or Transparency channel, and then when you open the saved PNG file in your photoeditor program, it will have the proper transparency rather than the black background. You cant just drag a PNG file from a browser and retain its alpha. |

but I'm using an online generator and it wants a url. Should I save it then host it? cause I think I just took the url and rehosted it straight from the web onto photobucket. |

if that's the case, then its the hosting service or the way they designed their web application that doesnt properly employ transparent images - not very common but I've seen it happen - for whatever reason, they are not supporting transparency in image files. Nothing you can do now but contact them |

Can't you also just save it as jpeg to get around the problem? I had this problem once, but all I remember is having the graphic designers change the file type to something else. Maybe it was GIF. |
