Find image on Google Images for 4chan postTry to upload image, and met with this error: "Upload failed".What is causing this? The image used is a jpg, it's not webp or anything 'new' like that. I have to keep opening it in GIMP and then overwriting it just so I can upload it onto 4chan.*Why* does the upload fail. Does anyone know?
>>108183555It can be from a corrupted format to it having an embed or a filtered md5/filename.
>>108183555>*Why* does the upload fail. Does anyone know?Because it's an unsupported file with the wrong extension, in other words a jpg saved as a WebPlacebo. A file extension doesn't actually do anything but determine how a file is opened or otherwise handled by the OS.

>>108183555it's likely not actually a jpg until you overwrite in gimp and convert it to one. it's probably a webp with a .jpg filename.
>>108183555about half of reddit pics fail to upload. I have to edit them before posting them so that they will upload.4chan is so shit, if you can't read image files, why make posting images mandatory?
>>108183555The year is 2026 and as FUCKING STUPID as it sounds, 4chan not only lacks support for (arguably outdated) WebP images, but jpegli images as well.
>>108183673There's a 50% chance it's also a jpegli image. Jpegli was literally created because everyone was shitting and pissing their pants about Webp....AND 4CHAN DOESN'T FUCKING SUPPORT IT! FUUUUUUCK this fucking shit as shit cocksucker motherfucking site.

>>108183940ok nvm>>108183976Yup, there are some filters already for uBlock those.
>>108183667This and you can easily check by opening the file in a hex editor.If it's a real jpeg it will start with either "FF D8 FF E0" or "FF D8 FF E1"If you don't have a hex editor you can use a regular text editor and compare the first 3 or 4 characters to any real jpeg.

4chan is just very disingenuous about its policy in generallots of softbans and no explanation
>>108183799It's been a long time since 4chan's choked on a super progressive jpegli encoded jpg for me. Pic related if you don't believe me.
>>108183555>The image used is a jpg, it's not webp or anything 'new' like that.Open it in Irfanview. It will probably tell you it's a misnamed webp and offer to rename it for you.
