How can you crop out the background for pictures that are on the wiki of Alvin and Frank etc. to look like mine? I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help?

Do you have any graphics programs other than MS Paint? I don't believe it supports GIF with transparency or PNG with alpha channel.

Sorry, you're out of luck then. Paint is really limited.

I'm sure there are free graphics programs out there, but I haven't used any of them, so I couldn't recommend one.

Well my dad could probably do it, I'll ask him some time. I'm pretty sure he's got photoshop....

Could you just make the background white?

Never mind, that can't work here, every second post is light blue.

I think sometime in a computers class, I learned of a website like that. Here it is:

http://www.phixr.com/photo/

When you click "Edit photo", you'll get a temporary account that will be deleted after 15 minutes to edit a photo. You can get it off your hard drive or online.

Perhaps you should try Paint.NET. (It's a free Windows program, not a site.) Its feature set appears to fall in the middle ground between those of Paint and Photoshop, including transparency. It's popular and highly-rated at CNET downloads.

It's a software download... Sorry but I can't really download software for multiple reasons.
