Instead of interpreting a no-background image correctly, penpot is attempting to insert the no-background checkers. I don’t know but this seems a bit odd maybe theres’a a workaround? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/d/d9de44f7050865234732bec15a4ff5ea873a7c73.jpeg) ---

Hello @nathfavour, Can you share the file with us to understand the problem better? ---

Are you sure it’s an image with no background? I feel like it’s not. ---

I’m aware that penpot isn’t an image editing software, but I just feel like the images without a background could be handled better. ---

It does seem the issue is on the image, that it has a background. ---
