Answer
Salaam Hafiz,

First thank you for choosing me to answer your question.

The answer of your question is easy, you just need to save your image as GIF file instead of JPG, because JPG doesn't have the capability of making transparent file. But only GIF has.


1. Open your file
2. Delete the background layer, or any other layer, which has color showing in the background of your object
3. Go to 'save for web' option in file menu
4. Choose GIF file format and select 'Transparent' check box in GIF options
5. Save your file and check in picture preview browser.


Hope it will help, Feel Free to ask anything further
