Transparent image not being transparent

I’m trying to put an image on my login page to make it look decent. The image is transparent however when I put it in my ionic app it has a background, in this case the background appears grey against the default white app background. Any suggestions on how to make the image appear transparent in ionic?

I just used a simple ion-img tag. any help is appreciated. I attached the image file too.

<ion-img height="150" src="../../assets/picture.png"></ion-img>

Use Chrome DevTools to inspect the style cascade. I would suspect you have a style that is being applied without you realizing it.

Note: ion-img is only meant to be used inside of virtual-scroll, so I would change the tag to the standard tag.

ahh yes I just needed to use the tag. Shame on me for not trying that before posting this.

thanks!
