Transparency

Okay, first off, if you are using MS Paint, don't. Use GIMP. But if you can't figure out how to download it / it wont work, I guess you're stuck with Paint.

To make your image transparent, you first need to change the background color. You see, the default background color is white, but if your picture has some white used in (for example) its eyes, your picture's eyes will become transparent too. So, change the background color if your picture has white in it to any color, as long as the color you choose is not used at all in the rest of the picture.. So let's say you don't use pink in the picture, change the background to pink with the paint bucket tool.

Once the background is a color not used anywhere else, save the picture and go to Iaza.com Once you are at Iaza, click the big "load image" button and select the file you want to transparify. Once it has loaded, look on the right of the web page and you should see a tool that says "NEW: TRANSPARENCY" (or something along those lines). Click it. It will then ask you to select the color that you want to be transparent. So, click on the background you made. Then click "Submit". It will now be transparent! To save the image, right click on it and scroll down to "save picture as". On a Mac, just drag it to the desktop. Your image is now transparent!
