Hi

Newbie question obviously. I have a group of vectors from freepik. I want to take one out of the group and then convert it to a png or jpg for a website.
Transparent is better. Love Inkscape. Looking forward to looking back at this post to see how clueless I was.

In the meantime...

My great thanks.

I have no idea of the data format of freepik, so cannot help you there.

Would it be possible for you to use freepik and export the graphic to svg?

If you can import the graphic from freepik into Inkscape (I guess you already succeeded doing that?), then you may need these functionalities:

- The status bar. It will always tell you what kind of object you have selected (e.g. if it is grouped)
- The selection tool (the first one in the tool bar on the left)
- Ungroup: Ctrl+U or right-click, select ungroup
- Remove undesired stuff: Click to select, then hit Del
- Export to png: File -> Export to png (either export the selection or the whole page)

Hope this helps!

Success. Thanks Moini. I've gained a level (ping!) Next, how do I get the object to be transparent? When I export it it saves it with a box around it where I selected it.Useful but not as useful as I need.

thanks!

Can you post the svg file you've got so far and your export result?
Inkscape defaults to a transparent background when using Export to PNG, so there must be something else that causes this.
