An image will always be rectangular but certain formats will permit transparency. Jpeg is **not** one of those. Very little change to your procedures. Open Image, Add an Alpha Channel for transparency, Layers menu -> Transparency -> Add Alpha Channel. Make your Elliptical selection, Invert it, Cut it. The transparent bits are depicted as a checker pattern. Kill the selection. Selection -> None Now the important bit. Export your image as a png. File -> Export As Give the file a name **including** the .png suffix. Just keep the default settings.
