Why is my converted PNG not transparent?

Conversion keeps every pixel, including the background. Transparency needs the background removed.

Why does the transparent area show white or black?

Some viewers draw a white or black backdrop; open it in a design app to see the transparency.

Can I do it on a phone?

Yes, the Remove background tool works in mobile browsers for photos of people.

JPG to PNG With Transparent Background

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Changing the format alone keeps the background: a JPG with a white background becomes a PNG with the same white background. To get transparency, remove the background first. For photos of people, use the Remove background tool on Utilorca and download a transparent PNG; for logos or signatures on white, use Set Transparent Color in Word or PowerPoint, or Instant Alpha in Mac Preview.
