Remove white background from an image

I want to get a transparent background or no background for my images. I tried the '-background none' option and also the 'transparent' option, but the background image remains white. How can I achieve this?

Please suggest.

If you are using Imagemagik then the command is:

convert input.gif -transparent white output.gif

However it will only work with a pure white background and not a shade of white. There are alternative and easier ways to do this with IrfanView or The Gimp or Photoshop (more on that below). This article mentions that you may be using convert.exe that comes with Windows rather than ImageMagicks Convert.exe in which case you should use the full path for Convert.exe. http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10665

If you are trying to achieve this from CSS then you misunderstand the css property. The css property 'background' refers to an html elements background color. I.e. <p> <div> <body> whatever. more here http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

If you are referring the the image opacity property, that refers to how "see through" an image should be. more here: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_image_transparency.asp

The only way to get a transparent background in an image is to make the background of the image transparent using either the PNG (preferred) or GIF formats. For this you can use IrfanView and save a picture as PNG, select the "save transparency" property and select the color from the image you want to be transparent or you can use Photoshop or The Gimp do do the same.
