Are there any good free JPEG optimizers available? Also im looking for a simple tool to remove simple (Black or white) backgrounds.

Can you please help me?

Thanks.

Have you tried paint.net? I'm not really sure what it is you're trying to do? If you mean balance file size against visual quality most software from Photoshop on down will do that for you. Removing backgrounds ... do you mean cropping?

Exactly, I want a tool to make the images sizes smaller for my site and I want a tool to make them transparent because I want to have a background.

Try Paint.NET. That sounds like something that you'll want to use. The only thing is that you'll have to save the images in GIF format, because jpeg files do not support transparency.
