I have a JPEG format image, with a white background and a black circle.
How can I transform this image to a PNG format that the white background will be transparent and the black remains there?
I'm a programmer too, and if there are some ideas in C# code I will be very happy. Also I'm looking for a converter, tool, program anything.
Thank you.

Here is working, but slow solution. You can speed it up by using Bitmap.LockBits().
using (Image img = Image.FromFile(filename)) using (Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(img)) { for (int x = 0; x < img.Width; x++) { for (int y = 0; y < img.Height; y++) { Color c = bmp.GetPixel(x, y); if (c.R == 255 && c.G == 255 && c.B == 255) bmp.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(0)); } } bmp.Save("out.png", ImageFormat.Png); }
You could use the ImageMagick tool like this example.
You will need to set the -background option to transparent, set the the -alpha option to set and use the -transparent option to set the colour you want to be interpretted as transparent. See also the convert tool reference.
