MisterBlister Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 My community is image-heavy and I noticed whenever I copy and paste an image from my image program, it pastes into the forum as a very large PNG even if it was a JPG. This is filling our board with a lot of large PNG files. Is there a way to paste it as a JPG? Would I need to disable PNG from being posted at all?

Jim M Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 This likely is related to the program which you are copying the image from placing the image as a PNG in the clipboard and then our software is simply utilizing what it is provided. Testing this myself, I am getting a JPG when copying a JPG. MisterBlister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what happens if we disable PNG uploading but paste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
