I uploaded a png as my profile picture with a transparent background but it is just shown as black.
Is there a way to fix this?

If you are uploading your avatar using the new website it will not be transparent, this is intended as transparent avatars are not going to be supported in the near future.

Why is that?!?

You can read what peppy had to say about it here: https://github.com/ppy/osu-web/issues/1832
It's mostly for design and performance reasons – we don't need to display a background layer behind every avatar just in case it's semi-transparent.

This post is 3 years old, there should be multiple newer forum posts that state that it is possible to upload transparent avatars now.

Closing discussions on GitHub doesn't prevent you from posting there by the way.

sorry for dead posting and sorry for being stupid, but it's possible now??? It doesn't seem so

If the image is no larger than 100kb and 256x256 it should retain its original formatting.
