Add (semi-)transparent png generation and you get a useful tool for designers.

Right click / View Image (in Firefox at least)



It's not semi-transparent, which means antialiasing isn't preserved when pasted over some colored background.


Set blend mode to multiply and it's fine (or invert it and use it as a layer mask). Although I'm not sure how useful it is for designers without the ability to tweak what you've drawn.


It’s semi-transparent if the developer isn’t drawing a background colour onto the canvas (as in this case).
