Hi @Scaprendering,

The canvas [background](https://processing.org/reference/background_.html) in processing is always opaque.  
If you want to save your images with transparency you need to go via [PGraphics object](https://processing.org/reference/PGraphics.html)

Also check [this](https://discourse.processing.org/t/making-a-transparent-background-and-exporting-to-png/37073/3).

Cheers
