In this tutorial we'll be going over how to export a graphic with transparency using Adobe Illustrator CC 2022. The secret to making this possible is using the PNG format, which contains an alpha channel that allows for transparent elements. Other file formats, such as JPEG, do not have alpha channels, therefore they cannot have transparent elements.
