The second option is to make a file with the extension. gif with a transparent background. To do this, move the image from vector to raster. This must be done this way: open the file in Corel Draw program. Export the picture already familiar way is File > Export. In the resulting window, choose CPT - Corel PHOTO-PAINT Image, and name the file a name that describes what is shown there. In our case, the "Arrow". Check the box next to Selected only.
6
Then you will see another window. Select the required image size and tick the Anti-aliasing (this option softens the edges of the image) and Transparent background (the shape is on a transparent background).

In this program, open the file "Arrow" through File > Open. From the top menu select Image > Paper Size. In the window that appears, set the background color. It is better to choose Magenta.

Note
Bitmap with transparency is technically different from a vector. This file is stored additional "channel" that has information about which pixel is transparent and which isn't (or which color in the palette of the picture should be considered transparent).
Useful advice
Similar manipulations can be performed not only with the Corel Draw files and with drawings made in Adobe Illustrator. Before you export, the file extension must be PNG, otherwise it will not be the desired effect.
