Often an invisible full-bleed (or opacity 0) that exporters keep as a canvas. It does not paint, but it still sits in the markup.

How do I remove a transparent background from an SVG?

Paste the file and click Remove transparent background. Invisible full-bleed rectangles are stripped out.

Use Make SVG Background Transparent or Remove Background from SVG for opaque plates.

No. Everything stays vector markup edited in your browser.
