The result is a PNG with an alpha channel, and Made verifies the returned file contains transparency before delivering it. Checkerboard patterns you see in previews are just how editors display alpha. **Can I get a transparent JPG?** No — the JPG format has no alpha channel, which is why Made returns a PNG. If a destination demands JPG, the transparency will be flattened onto a solid color at that point. **Why does the background look white when I open the file?** Some viewers and messaging apps flatten transparency onto white for display. Open the PNG in an editor or place it over a colored layer to confirm the alpha channel is intact. **Does it handle hair and fine edges?** It retains many fine edges, but backlighting, motion blur, and background colors similar to the subject can leave imperfect fringes. Inspect those areas at full zoom before publishing. **What can I do with the transparent PNG afterwards?** Layer it in any design tool, or stay in Made — the AI Photo Editor can place the cutout into a new scene, and Image Resizer can produce the delivery sizes you need.
