Transparent picture in Latex

Your question is somehow unclear. However the image is not transparent. Seems the alpha channel has been converted to the chess board background. Such a background is sometimes uses to illustrate the existence of transparency in picture previews. So you should never copy the picture preview but the original picture file. How to do so, depends on the image source.

BTW: This would be more a question of "how to copy images from the web" than a LaTeX question.

If my speculation is wrong, please give us (a link to) the original image and a Infominimal working example that shows, what you've done.
Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms. :cry:
