I use Photoshop. I am not very good on it, but I am learning.

fngman,

In Photoshop, assuming that your Background layer (the locked layer at the very bottom) is white, or whatever color, click the 'eye' icon to Hide the layer. If the layer is already a Transparent background you don't need to hide it.

Now select File > Save for Web....

Then for the file format select PNG-24, and make sure that Transparency is checked. Select Save, that's it!
