Triggered. Fake pngs should be a crime.

You mean fake transparency, right?

I didn't make this, I'm not sure who the OC creator is. I think the joke is that the "png" is actually a jpeg

Thanks, I'll add that it's not OC, almost forgot

On Google Images in your search you can click "Tools", "Color", then select "Transparent" to automatically filter these 😉

Thank you for sharing!

If you go to google images and add: filetype:PNG to your search, It will only give you pngs which have transparency.

Plenty of pngs have opaque backgrounds though. Doesn't necessarily fix it once and for all although you won't accidentally click jpgs

Ever since Google made that major change where they can't show you direct image URLs I've switched to using duckduckgo for image search. Works much better and you get way less fake transparency by default in your search results.

Or PNGs with watermarks 😤.

Hate sites that do this, off with their heads! 🪓

I don't get why does do that... Or how.

Why do they do that though? It takes the same amount of effort to give users a transparent png as a png or jpg with fake transparency. In fact it probably takes extra work to make those stupid fake transparency backgrounds. Is inconveniencing people looking for transparent pngs really that profitable?
