Some sites still don't support PNG lol. Usually it's places where they specifically expect a photo, where they'll hard code the validation to only check if it's a JPEG. I once had to upload a picture of my face for something and the original JPEG was too large, so I took a screenshot and tried uploading that but it wouldn't work because it only accepted JPEGs. So I had to figure out how to compress the image locally on my phone because I didn't want to upload a picture of me to one of those online converters.

Yeah that's true. I'm mostly talking local tools right now, but low tier sites are always gonna be a problem.

The only program I've seen that explicitly doesn't support PNG is old Source games with custom spray images.
