Why does a transparent logo show a pale outline on a dark background?
KitForma editorial guide. Edge pixels may already contain colors blended against a light background.
Step-by-step guidance
Edge pixels may already contain colors blended against a light background. Converting that file in https://kitforma.com/en/convert/ preserves those pixel colors; choosing PNG cannot undo an earlier matte. Inspect the source on contrasting backgrounds and re-export from the original design with proper transparency when possible. Avoid repeated lossy conversions near fine edges. Check the actual downloaded asset on the destination background, not only the checkerboard preview.
