Uhhhh.....
Theres always erasing the background but that really isn't all that helpful unless te background color does not appear in the image.
The file type wont change the background >_<

Magic wand tool in Gimp/Photoshop, make sure to add Alpha Channel first.

In GIMP, have your image on a transparency layer (checkered background). Safe as .GIF.

Works for me, always.

If it's already on a transparency, save as .png, only save as a .gif when it's an animation, it ruins everything else.

The new version uses something like xpf... but I guess it doesn't matter.
.gif is good for anything low quality to begin with.

And I think he means the pikmin in his avatar, in which case color select would work.

However thats the Gimp only format, PNG still reads transparency. You can't uplaod an XPF.

Again, only use GIF's for animations.
