Need support for export PNG files with no alpha channels

When I was working on App Store screenshots, I received an error message “image can’t contain alpha channels or transparencies”. I tried to fix this error using this plugin, but it also did not respond well. Export Opaque PNG | Figma Community
It would be extremely beneficial if we could export PNG files with no alpha channel.

if you work on mac, you can rewrite your png files without alpha

  1. Open your file with preview
  2. CMD+Shift+S made a duplicate
  3. CMD+S open save’s settings - here you need uncheck “alpha” and tap save
    Optional: you can delete “copy” from duplicate name and it’s rewrite the original
  4. Check info by right click and you will see “Alpha channel: NO”

If you’re familiar with command line / Terminal…

But yes, Figma should add the option to Include/Exclude alpha channels (or to flatten the exports, esp when there there is a solid background).

Please let me know if this could help? if not , I can add new feature, thanks!

You can open multiple files at once, then export them all as pngs - you have to expand the options and uncheck alpha - you can save over your originals.

Since most of us are here because we are exporting files for the app store, the other common bug is Figma will export PNGs at a different size from the frame. I put all my frames in a wrapping frame with auto layout, and make sure the surrounding frame is on exact pixel coordinates and the gap is a round pixel number. Then select all the individual frames and export.
