I am trying to draw stuff on paint and insert the pics to my website. But I have to keep trying to match the background of my drawing to the background of my site in order for it to look like its just the pic. Is there a way to make the background transparent so that it already matches? Your input helps. Thanks.

I don't think you can create transparent images with paint.

Paint.net is a good alternative though, which lets you do it.

Just be sure to save the image to .png format, and you'll be good to go.

Use GIMP. It is the best alternative of Photoshop. You can create your drawing on a transparent layer and the put it anywhere. The image will blend with the background.

  Ok now I know how to make an image transparent but wordpress isn't allowing me to upload any file except jpg and stuff like that. But when i export my transparent image to jpg, it shows up on my wordpress site with a white background not transparent. Do you guys know how to fix this? Thanks.
