Tavves Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) When i try to remove white background to make it transparent it actually saves in paint.net but not in self explorer. I mean in paint.net it becomes transparent but in explorer it doesn't. Can anybody help me? Edited August 28, 2020 by Tavves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHaveNoName Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If you're saving as a JPG then that's likely the reason. It is simply that, at least in this case with PDN, ordinary JPGs do not support transparency. You should save as PNG and you should be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPEG doesn't support transparency, period. Has nothing to do with Paint.NET.

IHaveNoName Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I thought JPEG 2000 supported transparency, at least that is what I'd read. PDN does support JPEG 2000 (there is/was a working plugin - never tried it myself) and why I made the, maybe pedantic, distinction using the term "originary JPG" which, of course, does not support transparency ie. is nothing to do with PDN.

Rick Brewster Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Paint.NET supports JPEG XR (built-in, no plugin needed), which does do transparency. However, that's not what people consider "JPEG". I'm not sure who even uses JPEG XR. The relationship between JPEG XR and JPEG 2000 is fuzzy to me, the former (XR) might be a superset of the latter (2000) ... but you'd need to look it up. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
