I believe the JPEG specification does not contain transparency. So you will have to do something else.
Perhaps combine the picture and the background first,
then convert the whole thing to JPEG?

Because there is no transparent JPEG so what you can do is setting the web background to match whatever background of the JPEG. That’s the only thing/way you HAVE to do <bg>

Or there is no other "HAS" for JPEG.

Sorry, jpg does not support transparency. Use gif or png.
