Windows 10: My paint no transparent layer

Why ms paint has no transparent layer? And only can be saved as png without transparent? And in the next version we have now a transparent layer?

Transparency in Fresh Paint(Windows 10)

I also need a transparent background. Windows 10/Fresh Paint

There is not Images tab.

I select:

New (+)

Custom Canvas

Chose Square

Texture

Paper/White flat (also tried different Canvas options)

The paper displays

Click on palette icon for Your Tools and Colors

6 options for Canvas/6 options for Paper

In the lower right corner, just below the Paper options there appears to be a button for "layers". However, I am not able to click it - either right or left click. I haven't been able to determine what the button truly achieves. Please see attached.

In general, how do you save a painting with a transparent background?

Thanks for any suggestions!

 

Can I make the white of an image I've opened in Paint and make it transparent?

No, Windows Paint can't save a transparency layer. It allows for transparent selections when editing, but when you save all transparency is lost.

I'd recommend the free
Paint.NET program, which is open-source and can handle it.
