Flatten Blend

Figma cannot export a layer with a blend mode (Multiply, Screen, Overlay, and all the others) as a transparent PNG. The blend effect disappears, colors shift, or a white background appears out of nowhere. This isn't a bug — blend modes are mathematically context-dependent, and without a background to blend against, the export has no meaning.

This has been a known, unsolved pain point since at least 2021. Dozens of forum threads, zero solutions, until now.
