Download this freeware utility:


Save your image as a GIF file. The background that is to be transparent must be a single color that isn't used anywhere else in the image...or those areas will become transparent also. [afro2] Most folks use either Green or Magenta, but you can use any of the 256 colors that are available in a GIF file.

Load the image into Giffy. Check the TRANSPARENT box and click on the color that you want to be transparent. Save the altered file.

Now when you put it into your web page, the background will be transparent.
