2D Sprite asset border problem

Unity Engine
1

Hello, I created a simple sprite asset: a square with Create > 2D > Sprites > Square.
I have also make this settings:

  • Wrap Mode → Clamp
  • Filter Mode → Point no filter
  • Format → Automatic
  • Compression → None
  • Project Settings → Quality → Anti Aliasing → Disabled
  • Main Camera → Add Component → Pixel Perfect Camera

However when I put the square into the scene there is a grey “border” around it.

Is this a Unity bug? Why does that border is rendered around the square?

Thanks.

How do I get rid of this outline on this square?

Hello,

Yes, this was an intended design change in a few versions of Unity, but was reverted back after user feedback
A similar case was tracked under: Unity Issue Tracker - You cannot create basic Sprite Shapes when creating Sprites via Assets->Create->2D->Sprites menu

The grey borders should not appear in Unity 2020.3.3f1, 2021.1.0f1, 2021.2.0a8 and above
Do upgrade to these versions or later to get these changes, if you are still able to reproduce this issue or are unable to upgrade do let us know

Hi,

I actually discovered this when I imported the generated sprite (Square.png) into Photoshop and realised that the 4-pixel grey border is not an artefact of Unity’s rendering engine but is actually a drawn border.

I downloaded a new Unity app (version 2021.1.4f1) and fortunately that border is no longer present as you can see from the image below:

Thanks for the support!!!
