i always merge my layers before saving, but is this why the jpegs with transparency work on websites but the pings don’t? TIL. this is valuable shitposting news. I gotta switch over to pings exclusively
JPGs don’t support transparency. Has to be PNG or GIF. WEBP also supports transparency, but it’s got horrible compatibility with editors. There are other options that are overlooked for web like SVG, fantastic for a companies website logo.
Not sure what you are using. In Photoshop do not flatten the image. The program has a “save for web” and you can toggle transparency on and off. Better control than the “save as” and I think “save for screens”.
i was using gimp, but then i moved to paint dot net. i refuse to learn it well because shitposts aren’t supposed to look good and i’m in the “cut the magazine with scissors and glue it together to make a collage” era of photoshop luddism.
GIMPs got something like that using a plugin. Haven’t used it myself. But heard it does the trick.
pho to shop luddism.

Search tumblr. They have all the real transparent pngs for some reason.
EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. TIME.
FFS figure out how to filter this shit Google.
Google has had a transparent image filter for decades
Is this happening because people are screenshotting images? Fundamentally misunderstanding the reason for the background? It’s maddening
It’s probably a combo of a lot of things, like screenshotting, encoding issues, accidental conversion, etc, but at least for sites that advertise themselves as image repositories, I’m pretty sure it’s to get you to actually visit the site. I’ve run into sites where the real image actually costs money to download, and ones where it’s free and they’re probably hoping for ad revenue from the page view.
