Why is this even a thing? Are people taking screenshots and making them .png out of malice?

My guess is image hosts that don’t support transparency and uploaders not realizing until after and/or not bothering to delete it if they find out

Google image search at least used to do this, it scrapes a PNG and turns in to a JPG to show in the search

Insidious shit. That makes sense based on all the checkered jpgs I’ve downloaded from there

Is there any way to change the way a browser displays transparent images? Like instead of the checkerboard, could i have cats or that Jazz pattern from the cups of the 90s? Its so annoying getting these fake ones, there has to be a fix.

Click and drag the image. If the background goes with it, it isn’t transparent.

Or hold it up to the light. If you can see light through it, it’s transparent.

I once asked Gemkni to create some art with a transparent background and it drew the checkerboard pattern behind the object…

At least it isn’t a .webp

There is some irony in the fact that this meme is a .webp

Whats wrong with it? I think its a neat, efficient format (If we ignore how heavily google pushed it)

I love it, it’s smaller than both PNG and JPEG while better looking than both.
