: Unmerge some image from background - Sketch I am usually using either Photoshop or Illustrator. But now I got a Sketch file and wanted to export some images. All exporting was easy except I

@Karen819

so, since your question does not provide enough information about the file, I'll try to answer as many scenarios as I can think of.

Scenario 1 - Exporting 1
If there is a background layer that was included in the file, you can go back to the sketch file, disable/delete anything in the background, and export the screen.



Scenario 2 - Export 2
You could have a background color assigned to the artboard. So - select the artboard, make sure the background isn't selected, and export.



Scenario 3 - If someone has flattened the whole screen to one image (so it's not the icon, the text, and a background color, as it should be.
- If you can mask out the shape and recreate the same text - go for it
- You can go through Photoshop and do it
- You can quickly download GIMP and use color to alpha to get rid of the background with one click. I've created a tutorial over here: medium.com/@bobottle/design-tip-single-color-images-with-transparency-113e83495ca9
In any case, when asking questions, more information on your situation (including images, screenshots, etc. would be very helpful to the rest of us.

Hope I helped :)
