NiGHTS4life: Just discovered a method of turning Twitter pics to png format.

NiGHTS4life: @NiGHTS4life: When you're at the image link, change the "jpg" to png.

Doomguy42: @NiGHTS4life: That just converts the jpeg to png, the image quality is the same.

Ashraely posted the actual png on e621.

Anonymous1: @NiGHTS4life: Nope. It doesn't work like that, mate. It's possible to post pngs in twitter, but if the pic was posted as a jpg, then it will have the quality expected for a jpg compressed by the twitter artifacts. A format change won't change anything.

the_last_can: @Doomguy42: @Anonymous: No I just tested and he's actually on to something, believe it or not.
He's not talking about editing the file name but rather the image adress within twitter.
Twitter does a lot of unnecessary shenanigans to images uploaded there..
But when I tried I couldn't get the resolution he uploaded.
Obviously this wont work if it was uploaded as a jpg to begin with.

the_last_can: Update: This no longer works at all.
I did test this back then and got mixed results. Some were returning the actual uncompressed png image the uploader posted while others would just convert it.
Twitter is weird. Now all images on X are appearenttly jpgs and doing the url change @NiGHTS4life: mentioned will only convert them.

Deskjet23: @the_last_can: It never worked. Changing the jpg to png in the URL just changed the extension, not the quality. It is possible to upload pngs to Twitter though, but only if the resolution is small enough.
