Try Sumo Paint On-line. Transparency is supported, and it can save as PNG.
It's like having Photoshop Lite inside your browser.

The emphasis being on "Lite" (which is, itself a bad sign, as somebody has
economised on letters and
spelt a 'Lite' version of 'Light'; which, to a certain school of thought
means ONLY bad spelling).
One of the snags of Sumo Paint (compared with GIMP) is that one cannot
save images to one's computer
with layers and so forth preserved, that can, later, be edited in other
graphic programs.
To me, at least, Sumo Paint, seems to contain a small subset of the
capabilities of GIMP + it will not
work unless one has an internet connexion.
I should have known better than to abbreviate a word when communicating
with a school teacher. Sorry. ;-)
Since everywhere I work seems to have an internet connection, but doesn't
always have GIMP or Photoshop, or admin rights to install software, in a
pinch, you can at least create/edit images with transparency with
SumoPaint. I love GIMP, but sometimes other options are good to have too.
Obviously Sumopaint is useful if one cannot install software on somebody
else's computer.
I have mucked around with it, but, as in my case I always have some sort
of machine I can
install GIMP on (and tend to run around with a CD in my bag containing
Mac and Win versions of the thing), I have never really taken it all
that seriously.
The thing I find very odd indeed, is not people referring to Sumopaint,
but the assumption that
Photoshop is still "cock of the rock", when I am not sure it is anymore
. . .
There are quite a few open source apps 'out-and-about', as well as some
Free, closed-source
ones (I am keen on Xara extreme - Linux only, unfortunately). There are
quite a few small apps
that are freely available which can produce gifs or pngs with
transparent areas without horribly
jaggy edges.
