    Making a jpeg transparent in background

    I have a jpeg image that I want to use as a nav button. How do I get the background to be transparent so that it doesn't show any background color?

    You need photoshop or similar to erase the background and export it as a transparent gif or png

      That can't be done with a jpeg. Your original artwork needs to be exported as a transparent png file, which most drawing programs can do. If you must use the jpeg, open it with a drawing program, remove the white background (not fun) and export as a tranparent png.

          D'son and I used to post the same answers at the same times so often we were thinking of starting a tap dancing duo road show!

              I had the same issue you did. I purchased a program for something like $10 called Logo Design Studio and now I can make anything I want and have a transparent background. It is a lot of fun to use and very addicting too!
