PNG format has a transparency option. It requires an image editor capable of saving PNG with transparency.

If you have say a face on a white background, you will have to "erase" the white in the image or create a mask to make those areas invisible then save as a PNG with transparency.

The Gimp is a free image editor. I use Photoshop myself.
