How to recreate "Alpha is Transparency" import setting for images imported at runtime

[bartektnt55_unity]

I downloaded image from URL using DownloadHandlerTexture and the problem is that there is white outline on image because I have no idea how to change Alpha is Transparency ☑ import option at runtime.

Changing texture type to Sprite would solve this too but I don’t see any possibility to do that either.

Is there any way to fix that?

There is Sprite.Create for that

Unity - Scripting API: Sprite.Create

@Note

Remember to Destroy unused downloaded texture objects (after conversion to sprite for example) to prevent memory leaks (read: future crashes)

I don’t know about built-in options to this but you can write yourself a script that will fix this on pixel data level and be done with it.

Here is a repo showing how to write multithreaded jobs that will process texture data:

Alternatively you can also write a shader that does the same.
