What is the quickest way to set a transparant background to jpg image with a white background without any major editing?
I have tried a few online solutions but the quality always seems poor, so any online resources would be useful too.

it depends on the image. if they are complex enough, you should remove background manually.– Ferdi ÇıldızJun 20, 2016 at 19:11

This is a quick, easy way that I've found to remove a white background:
1) Use the Quick Selection Tool (w) and paint around the inside of the object that you wish to isolate from its background. You might need to go in and manually deselect some areas, by holding down ALT while you paint.
2) Click on Refine Edge at the top of your screen and adjust your settings, to achieve a desired selection edge. These are the settings that I used, but yours will likely be different:
Update: in newer versions of PS, this has been restructured into "Select and mask..."
3) Once you're happy with how the selection looks, click on Add a Layer Mask at the bottom of your Layers Palette:
You've now converted your white background to transparent, while also maintaining the ability to reverse and/or edit any of your steps in the previous steps through editing the mask you've created.
Use actions like this one http://mediamilitia.com/removing-a-white-background-with-photoshop-actions/ But the quality is always linked to the quality of the jpg and the amount of artefacts.
