Product image format - PNG

Post by PeteMVG » Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:41 am

Hi,

I need to upload product images as a PNG file (transparency is required) but the default only allows JPG or GIF.

I assume this is changeable somewhere, but can't find where. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

thanks

Go to Administration > Configure > Security > System Settings there you will see file upload filters.

Thanks, I knew it would be there somewhere.

However having just tested it the upload process has replaced the alpha-transparency with white..?

Seems like this white background thing happens in back end code. I don't see any simple fix to this. The only workaround could be to put your custom image resizing code in place.
