Transparent background in JPEG image

You can’t make a JPEG image transparent. You should use a format that allows transparency, like GIF or PNG.

Paint will open these files, but AFAIK it’ll erase transparency if you edit the file. Use some other application like Paint.NET (it’s free).

Edit: since other people have mentioned it: you can convert JPEG images into PNG, in any editor that’s capable of working with both types.
