Okay...I am new so please bare with me...im going nuts. I have all these files saved and I cant seem to get the real PNG transparent. I am creating basic logos. Text and fonts shadows. Etc. Im grouping then together once im finished. My file/ save bitmap actually says save PNG. I dont see anywhere it says save bitmap. Ive tried the background color. And the "only selected"... The background is coming up black and it is clouding my brain with All the different suggestions..my friend needs a basic logo for the internet and maybe even printing cards.

P.s. everything has been created into paths ..not sure if that matters
Thanks to ever can help me

Hi.
Make sure no objects with opaque colours are under your design and @ the document-properties (shift+cmd+D) background color is set to 100% transparency: 0


Cheers

I made transparency test with inkscape 0.92.4. It seems OK. What version use you?
I remember the same problem in old versions. Maybe is this corrected in the last versino 0.92.4.

Have a nice transpareny day.

Are you using Menu: File>Export PNG?

How do you determine if the background is transparent?

Many people upload their picture to facebook etc. - but facebook and others convert images to jpg, and jpg does not support transparency.
Some also have this problem using some programs to view the files that have a black background.
