Image goes weird behind a shape

Hi all,
Does anyone know what's happened here? I've used a badge and put it onto a white circle. Regardless of whether they are grouped or not, a square sized weirdness appears around the edges of this circle.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks,

You need to tell Xara your image is a PNG.

Et voila. Thank you! Solved perfectly.
Much appreciated.

For the transparency in PNG?

An image that is not a rectangle and has not transparent parts can be rendered as a JPEG.

The Xara Desktop application (XPD) approach for an odd-shaped images is to copy over the background detail within a bounding rectangle and export still as a JPEG.
This works for most things except animation effects where any change to the shape causes the background to morph.

You therefore need to Set Web Properties > Image > Web image type to PNG explicitly to turn the non-image parts transparent.
