Images with white boxes

I am not sure if this is the right place to put this since it isn’t strictly coding based and i believe it is the program i am using (paint) for my images.

Is there a way for sprites/images to not have white boxes around them if you do not colour in everything. For example in the game i am doing, the bullets have white parts where i have not coloured it in fully to intentionally make it look like a bullet. As you can see there are white parts which i would like to be able to remove and have it as blank / coloured like whatever the background is.

bulletRight

(Please excuse the art).

you mean you want the background ( the here white parts ) transparent?
you use windows microsoft paint program?
not sure that is able to do that? ( win7 no, win 10 yes ?)
also depends on the saved file type.

you can try
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ (224MB file for windows)

Hey there !

Yes ! You need to use a program which supports transparency if made in paint, even though it a png it will still put a background on it. Another great free software if you are on windows is paint.net it allows you to make transparent png’s. You can download it from here.

Hope this helps !
