 * I seriously don’t understand why each .png .gif loads with black padding around
   EACH image.
 * So I want each of these images to have a transparent background and they DO! 
   If you remove them, save as, and then download to your desktop they retain their
   image transparency as well as remaining a .PNG.
 * But for some reason, the moment I load them onto wordpress Harmonic, they load
   with these damn black backgrounds. Can someone please let me know what is going
   on here?
 * Why won’t any of my .png’s load completely transparent?
 * a. They are not reverting to Jpeg because of the fact that they are still .png
   when you save them.
    b. I save them in Photoshop as 8png and 24png with Transparency
   turned off without RGB. c. I am updated on all ends regarding my wordpress software.
 * This is really ridiculous.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremoving-padding-from-images%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The nature of backgrounds and borders etc are under control of your theme. You
   may find better expertise and experience in the support forum of your theme.
 * It also seems that your website is under “wordpress.com”, this is support for“
   wordpress.org”, which is sufficiently different that you should seek support 
   from wordpress.com

 * [@rossmitchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rossmitchell/), It’s not 
   WP.COM site though is it? It’s probably just a newly released theme that is also
   available on .com.
