    Question PNG HELP!

    https://steampunkdelta8.com

    look at the big cogwheel with the site name on top

    That was and still is inserted in Pro v17 of Xara Web Designer as a PNG

    Any idea when I upload the site it has a weird square background on it now that kinda matches the background but obviously looks totally wack!!! That background square behind the site logo/name is NOT seen in the program only shows when uploading the site

    How can I make it so the PNG that I spent a long time removing the background from what was a JPG file, actually shows as a PNG online and goes OVER the existing background without creating a 2nd background to go over the existing background?

    How frustrating.

    the file on your published site is a JPG, not a PNG, so there is a background to it

    that is really all I can say... if you inserted it as PNG then it must have been converted to JPG when publishing

    I understand there are various ways that this can happen, such as having it grouped with something, but i do not build websites myself so cannot be more specific

    nothing in a xara file is HTML; HTML is only generated on publishing; that may explain why it only appears when you publish

    the weird thing is I noticed on the pricing page it looks fine, but it's a repeating object so IDK why on the index and about us doesn't look ok?

    I Inserted it on the HOME (index) page as a png and did repeat object. I will just wait for egg and them to see what their brains think - there is something going on here prolly a simple option or setting or such. I tried playing around with it and even deleting and reinserting it to no avail.

    Thx for the help tho

    Right click the image, choose "web properties" from the pop-up menu, click the "image" tab, select "PNG(Best for graphics) option, click OK... that should sort it.

    Inserting as a PNG does not mean the XDA saves it as such.

    Select the image on your design page.
    In Web Properties > Image > web image type and tick PNG.

    What's odd howsomever is that it's exported as JPEG on the home page but PNG on the Pricing page.

    'cos it is a different image. Either the first two have something touching or overlapping or the Pricing image was added separately.
    The fix is still valid.
