Hey! I created transparent frame with glass effect applied but it disapears during an export. I tried different export plugins and formats but still glass effect is not presented as is on the exported file. If background is solid everything works perfectly. Is there any way to export it with transparency? 

The frame

Hi ​@Elona Sarkisova, thanks for your patience! 

Kim is currently out of office, so I’m stepping in to help. 

Our team hasn’t been able to reproduce this issue so far. If you’re still having the issue, can you please verify what export settings you are using when you export and what you expect to see? 

With a few more details, our team can try to narrow down what may be causing this issue for you.

Same for us, the glass effect disappears on export on a transparent background.

Hi ​@Nikolaus Heger, thanks for chiming in here and apologies for the delayed reply! 

Can you please verify what export settings you are using?

Please keep in mind the following:

  • It’s best to export as PNG to preserve transparency and blur effects
  • Glass effects are not supported in SVG export or within Figma Sites, as they rely on realtime background rendering
  • Ensure your Glass effect is applied to a frame with a transparent fill (or lower opacity), and ensure the underlying background elements are included in the selection or exported as a single image

As long as you are meeting these export settings, you shouldn’t have any issues. Please let me know, and we can continue to troubleshoot, as needed.
