NOTE: Always make sure that whenever you save the image, save it as png and not jpg or jpeg because only png image can have a transparent background. If you save the image as jpeg even through some image editing software then the transparent background will become white. And don’t open the image in Microsoft paint and then save, it will remove the transparency from the image.

This is how you can make image background transparent. There could be multiple ways to remove the background from an image like from Photoshop or other editing software, but this method is the easiest one and less time taking.

Below are the links of the two more websites where you can make the image background transparent.
