On Windows 11, is there a way to confirm if a background is transparent on a PNG file without having to install a photo editing program like GIMP or Photoshop?

As an alternative to copying to the desktop, you can just click on or hover over the image in its current folder. For this to work you need the folder view/layout to be one which shows thumbnails, e.g. "Large icons".
Simply click on or hover over the file, and explorer will add a tint to the background. If you can see the tint through the image, then it has a transparent background.
