@Steve758

For me as a developer who received ready sketch file, the fastest way is to open image in Photoshop, go to 'Image → Canvas Size', change the size and save it.

This might be too old but it can help others..

According to the answer of @spjpgrd , this option will appear if you put your layer out of any artboards.

Select group 1star, then make right click on it, select Create Symbol, then go to Symbols page, select artboard with your new symbol and setup export settings on right panel - this workflow works as simple artboard for every group, but is powered by Symbols reuse feature.

Alternative and simple solution:

Change de border Thichnkess to 0.01px or something below, and when exports, the outline is not rendered.



It works.

The artboard method is the way to go.

If you already have that 50x50 transparent rectangle, if you select the group and press "A" to create a new artboard, the first option on the right-hand side is "Around Selection." Super handy.

Select Rectangle 6 and click on make exportable, now click Create Separate Slice Layer (the little knife) and simply drag the shown image to your desktop to export it.





(The better answer) Instead of using a transparent rectangle, create an Artboard. Hit A and drag a 50x50 box. Add your star, select the Artboard and click Make Exportable and finally drag the shown image to your desktop.
