Steps to verify
- Choose the intended background.
- Compare output formats.
- Inspect edges and background.
How to interpret the result
Size reduction and retained transparency are separate conditions. Choose another output if the background no longer suits the destination.
Deciding what to do next
White fill can be unnoticed on a light screen. Check logo edges and appearance on the final background.
Feature scope
Export a new file at the same dimensions in the browser. Compare JPEG/WebP quality and format; PNG quality behaves differently and the output is not always smaller.
