Practical rule

Transparent PNG is best as the source master because it is reusable across ads, social posts, and custom creatives. White backgrounds are best when the marketplace requires strict white.

Recommended workflow

  • Create transparent master first.
  • Export white background only for channels that require it.
  • Store both versions with clear naming.
