this might sound stupid but  do I have to download a program or software before I can use the 128x128 .PNG picture I  can use or is there something else im doing wrong

What do you mean? If you're asking about if Paint will do - no, it won't.

 

You need an editor rhat supports Alpha channel (opacity). Something like Photoshop. Or free - Gimp or Paint.net.

It says that your picture needs to be in .PNG format. It's possible (99% sure) that you are uploading image as .JPG format. 

When u save image you should see below name box a choice for formats.

No, you need to save your file as *.png

 

You know, when you are saving your image? In Paint or whatever do you use? There's this window, where you can name your file, right?

Now look closely, there should be a drop-down list with file extensions. Look reeeeaaaally closely, it is there, 100%.

 

Pick PNG.

 

Save the image

 

Voila!

No problem.

 

One more thing, it may be the case, that your emblem has no Alpha channel. Check it twice before submitting it, you don't want all of the see-through elements to be white or black instead.

btw what do you mean by alpha opacity?

[PookieNumnums]

just dl the trail version of the photoshop cc from adobe.com or w/e

 

then create a new file, transparent, at 128x128 pixels (make sure youre choosing pixels not inches)

 

then when you get your emblem how you want it, make sure to save it as .png file at 128x128 pixels.

 

i usually make the emblem at 256x256 then reduce it before saving it but its up to you

 

.png files translate transparency, jpg and bmp do not

Well... It is stated in the emblem submissions rules, that your emblem mustn't have any copyrighted content. Su, yes, you need to make your emblem by yourself.

 

You can use picrures on CC license in your pic, though, that sould make your work a bit easier.

 

Also - when looking for pictures with transparency in Google, you can choose "transparent" in "colour" section of search tools. But you'll need to save it and use it from there, because transparency won't remain if you use ctrl+c ctrl+v from the Internet.
