    Hi Kasuni, You can create transparent PNG images. Go to the control panel (the crown icon to the far left of the Create button) and select
    transparent PNG, then create your image. To use in another application, you need to save first to your local disk and load from there because when you cut and paste directly from FIG, the destination app will not know the aplha channel and so just sets background black.

    Please repost if that doesn't answer your question.

    Hi Kasuni. I think the problem you are having is with the windows clipboard which does not carry the transparency data for PNG image. Is there an import or insert image feature in the graphics program you are using? The main point is to not use windows clipboard to insert your image. What is the program you are using?

    There are lots of free graphic programs you can download like Artrage,GIMP,Irfanview,DrawPlus4, etc. Or you can download a demo of most any graphics software even Photoshop. I personally use Artrage,Expression3(both free) and Paintshop pro 9. Google any of those names to find a download site. Good luck wth your project and thanks for using FIG
