how can I customise sprites?

Hi, I’m new to this, so apologies if I’ve overlooked something obvious. I want to input my own images as sprites/players and background images. I can insert them as png files, but they have a white background even when the file has a transparent background. I want them to be on a transparent background.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Janine

Hi,

if your pictures really have a transparent background, the background will be transparent in GDevelop too.

@Victor, unfortunately this is not always true. I can create/use sprites which has transparent background if used in certain cases/programs, but not in other cases/programs as I found out. So now I’m using a program to explicitly remove the background/backgroundcolor. (I’m using the editor of GameMaker for that.)

Or you can use a real picture editing program like Paint.net or The GIMP. :wink:
