: Save a JPG without a background I have created this image in Photoshop: Layers: I would like to save this arrow to a .jpg file without the white background rectangle. How can I achieve

@Goswami567

Opt for PNG32 which allows for full alpha transparency. That's what I use.

As mentioned, you can't make a JPG transparent. However, your reason for wanting it to be transparent is important for determining what format to use. For vector graphics, for example, EPS allows a clipping mask to mask out the background, and that format can used to place a graphic on a background in a layout program like InDesign, for example. That is why EPS is a preferred format for vector graphics to be used in print layouts. For other uses, the format, and the way the final image is composed, are both important.

Hide the background layer first. Then try "Ctrl+ Shift + Alt + S" to save for web and choose png. Or just save as and choose png as your filetype.

jPeg images save automatically with a flat solid background. You will be able to achieve saving your image with a transparent background to .png format.

It won't work with JPEG format.

You can't save transparency to a .jpg. The file format simply doesn't support it. Anything that is transparent will become white when saved to a .jpeg.

Try .png or .gif, those file formats do accept transparency.
